The formation of a halogen-bond (XB) complex in the excited state was recently reported with a quadrupolar acceptor-donor-acceptor dye in two iodine-based liquids (<i>J. Phys. Chem. Lett.</i> <b>2017</b>, <i>8</i>, 3927-3932). The ultrafast decay of this excited complex to the ground state was ascribed to an electron transfer quenching by the XB donors. We examined the mechanism of this process by investigating the quenching dynamics of the dye in the S<sub>1</sub> state using the same two iodo- ...[more]
