Abstract: Photoinduced defects in the bromide-bridged platinum linear chain (Pt(en){sub 2})(Pt(en){sub 2}Br{sub 2})(ClO{sub 4}){sub 4} (PtBr, where en=ethylenediamine) yield Raman, absorption, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals that have been examined as a function of temperature in order to determine the kinetics of the decay of these metastable defects in an intermediate-strength low-dimensional charge-density-wave (CDW) solid. Both diamagnetic and paramagnetic defects are photogenerated with the initial excitonic transient primarily dec...
