Abstract
We demonstrate that reversible reactions occurring in the excited electronic state undergo a 'kinetic transition' as a function of the difference in excited-state decay rates. This conclusion follows from a remarkably accurate approximate solution obtained for the kinetics of diffusion-influenced reversible geminate dissociation reactions in solution, which becomes exact at long times.
