  Photoexcitable donor-bridge-acceptor (D-B-A) molecules that support
intramolecular charge transfer are ideal platforms to probe the influence of
chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) in electron transfer and resulting
radical pairs. In particular, the extent to which CISS influences spin
polarization or spin coherence in the initial state of spin-correlated radical
pairs following charge transfer through a chiral bridge remains an open
question. Here, we introduce a quantum sensing scheme to measure directly the
hypothesized spin polarization in radical pairs using shallow nitrogen-vacancy
(NV) centers in diamond at the single- to few-molecule level. Importantly, we
highlight the perturbative nature of the electron spin-spin dipolar coupling
within the radical pair, and demonstrate how Lee-Goldburg decoupling can
preserve spin polarization in D-B-A molecules for enantioselective detection by
a single NV center. The proposed measurements will provide fresh insight into
spin selectivity in electron transfer reactions.
