Photophysical processes involving the higher electronic excited states of diamagnetic porphyrins and metalloporphyrins are critically reviewed. Intramolecular electronic relaxation of one-photon Soret-excited molecules in solution is now known to involve processes other than S 2 - S 1 internal conversion; dark electronic states are implicated. Sequential two-photon excitation to produce gerade excited singlet states ( S n , n > 2) results in relaxation dynamics that are quantitatively different from those resulting from one-photon excitation to ungerade states of about the same energy. Intermolecular electron and electronic energy transfer involving Soret-excited metalloporphyrins and intramolecular electron and electronic energy transfer in Soret-excited dyads and larger arrays containing porphyrins are reviewed. Metalloporphyrins containing main group metals or transition metals with filled d orbitals exhibit relaxation dynamics that differ from metalloporphyrins containing transition metals with unfilled d orbitals. Non-linear phenomena associated with multi-photon excitation of diamagnetic metalloporphyrins are also reviewed.
