Here, we present a protocol for the determination of cage-escape yields following excited-state electron transfer between a photosensitizer and a quencher. We describe steps for determining changes in molar absorption coefficient of the different oxidation states via photolysis experiments and the percentage of reacted species via steady-state or time-resolved spectroscopy. We then detail measurement of the amount of formed product via nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy.
