With spectroelectrochemistry the oxidation states of molecules can be investigated under potential control without the need of a chemical oxidant/reductant. In our setup we combine spectroelectrochemistry with ultrafast spectroscopy and use broadband excitation in the visible spectral range for TA and 2D spectroelectrochemistry [1]. Here we describe new experiments on a perylene bisimide cyclophane. For electrolysis we employ a custom-built flow cell with the organic solvent dichloromethane and the supporting electrolyte TBAHFP. The meta-xylene linked cyclophane under investigation creates a rigid system with a small distance of 5 Å between the aromatic units which leads to a coupling of the first excited electronic state with the first vibrational state [2]. Our time-resolved data show symmetry-breaking charge transfer leading to the generation of radical anionic and cationic species. Upon reduction of the cyclophane the dynamics change depending on the applied potential.
