Description:: This thesis presents results and analysis on a series of donor-bridge-acceptor (D-B-A) charge transfer systems in which we use time-resolved spectroscopy and magnetic resonance techniques to study the relationship of molecular structure to energy, charge, and spin transfer dynamics. We find that the sequence of events following the initial charge...
