A photoelectron transfer system containing the photosensitizer tris (2,2′‐bipyridyne) ruthenium II chloride, and the quencher N, Nî, di(4‐sulfonato toluyl) 4,4′‐bipyridine is described. Following a laser pulse the exited state of the photosensitizer is quenched by BSV giving a net yield of electron transfer of about 0.1. Addition of the polyelectrolyte polyvinyl sulfate (PVS) markedly enhances the rate of quenching. The decay of the electron transfer products Ru(bpy) 3+ 3 and BSV + is considerably retarded in the same system upon addition of PVS.
