Getting the message across : Insight into electronic coupling beween electron donors and acceptors connected by molecular bridges (see example) has been achieved by measuring the magnitude of the spin–spin exchange interactions. A kinetic analysis of the magnetic field effects showed that charge transfer in highly π‐conjugated bridges is a function of the spin‐selective charge‐recombination pathways.
