The analysis of spectral-kinetic results of transient absorption and phosphorescence experiments has been carried out in a wide temperature range (80-293K) for a series of Pd-octaethylporphyrin derivatives (PdOEP) with increasing number of bulky meso-phenyl substituents. In order to elucidate the influence of steric hindrance interactions, as well as porphyrin macrocycle non-planarity ...
