Abstract
The photoinduced electron transfer between ZnPcLTs and guanine was studied by steady‐state emission and electron spin resonance as well as time‐resolved absorption and emission, indicating the key role of type I (electron transfer) mechanism in photodynamic damage of calf thymus DNA by ZnPcLTs.
