The changes in the electronic absorption spectra (UV-Vis) (after photoexcitations) of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin films doped with a ferrocene derivative and containing chloroform molecules as impurities, have been studied as a function of photoexcitation wavelength (210-750 nm), photoexcitation time (duration), amount of ferrocene derivative in the film and amount of chloroform molecules present in the film. Occurrence of photoinduced charge-transfer between some ferrocene derivatives and chloroform molecules confined in the PMMA thin films has been observed. The effects of the substitution group (attached to the ferrocene unit) on the photoinduced changes are discussed.
