The S2 state properties of Sb-tetraphenylporphyrin (SbTPP) derivatives were investigated using subpicosecond
spectroscopic methods. The S2 fluorescence of various SbTPP derivatives was observed for the first time. It
was revealed that the S2 fluorescence lifetime changed depending on the donor-ability of the ligand because
of the contribution of the charge separation to the S2 excited SbTPP, which was confirmed by transient
absorption spectroscopy.
