Preferred Label : electron transfer photosensitization;
IUPAC definition : Photochemical process in which a reaction of a non-absorbing substrate is induced
by electron transfer (not energy transfer) with an excited light-absorbing sensitizer.
The overall process must be such that the sensitizer is recycled. Depending on the
action of the excited sensitizer as electron donor or acceptor the sensitization is
called reductive or oxidative.;
