A compound of the general formula: where A is a moiety which absorbs radiation and enters an excited state in which it accepts an electron; D- is a moiety which donates an electron to the excited state A and releases a free radical; and L+ is a cationic linking group which tethers electron acceptor moiety A to electron donor moiety D-. Cationic linking moiety L+ has the formula: where L' is a moiety which forms a stable radical with acceptor moiety A upon transfer of an electron from donor moiety D- to electron acceptor moiety A, and G is a moiety which forms a leaving group upon transfer of the electron from donor moiety D- to acceptor moiety A.
