Chlorophyll derivatives can be applied in bio-solar cells, but their excited-state dynamics are not fully understood in this context. Here pump–probe time-resolved absorption spectroscopy measurements of chlorophyll derivatives reveal enhanced lifetimes of radical species in the presence of hydroquinone.
