Title: High-Energy Charge-Separated States by Reductive Electron Transfer Followed by Electron Shift in the Tetraphenylethylene–Aluminum(III) Porphyrin–Fullerene Triad

Abstract

A high-potential supramolecular triad (TPE-AlPor ← Im-C ₆₀) composed of aluminum(III) porphyrin (AlPor), fullerene (C ₆₀), and tetraphenylethylene (TPE) has been constructed. The fullerene and tetraphenylethylene units are bound axially to opposite faces of the porphyrin plane via coordination and covalent bonds, respectively. The ground and excited-state properties of the triad and reference dyads are studied using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. The transient data show that photoexcitation results in charge separation from tetraphenylethylene to the excited singlet state of the porphyrin ( ¹AlPor*), generating a high-energy (2.14 eV) charge-separated state, (TPE) ^•+-(AlPor) ^•–, in toluene. A subsequent electron migration from the AlPor ^–• to fullerene generates a second high-energy (1.78 eV) charge-separated state (TPE) ^•+-AlPor ← Im-(C60) ^•–. The lifetime of the charge separation is about 25 ns. Here, the high energy stored in the form of charge-separated states along with their reasonable lifetimes makes these donor–acceptor systems potential electron-transporting catalysts to carry out energy-demanding photochemical reactions, especially in artificial photosynthesis for conversion of solar energy into chemical energy.

Photoinduced Electron and Energy Transfer in a Molecular Triad Featuring a Fullerene Redox Mediator

Journal Article Antoniuk-Pablant, Antaeres ; Kodis, Gerdenis ; Moore, Ana L. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. B, Condensed Matter, Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces and Biophysical Chemistry

To explore the possibility of a fullerene acting as an electron and/or singlet energy relay between a donor chromophore and an acceptor, a triad consisting of a fullerene (C ₆₀) covalently linked to both a porphyrin energy and electron donor (P) and a β-tetracyanoporphyrin energy and electron acceptor (CyP) was synthesized. Steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic investigations show that the porphyrin first excited singlet state donates singlet excitation and an electron to the fullerene and also donates singlet excitation to the CyP. All three processes differ in rate constant by factors of ≤1.3, and all are much faster than themore »« less

Energy and photoinduced electron transfer in porphyrin-fullerene dyads

Journal Article Kuciauskas, D ; Lin, S ; Seely, G R ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry

Time-resolved fluorescence and absorption techniques have been used to investigate energy and photoinduced electron transfer in a covalently linked free-base porphyrin-fullerene dyad and its zinc analogue. In toluene, the porphyrin first excited singlet states decay in about 20 ps by singlet-singlet energy transfer to the fullerene. The fullerene first excited singlet state is not quenched and undergoes intersystem crossing to the triplet, which exists in equilibrium with the porphyrin triplet state. In benzonitrile, photoinduced electron transfer from the porphyrin first excited singlet state to the fullerene competes with energy transfer. The fullerene excited singlet state is also quenched by electronmore »« less

Photoinduced charge separation and charge recombination to a triplet state in a carotene-porphyrin-fullerene triad

Journal Article Liddell, P A ; Kuciauskas, D ; Sumida, J P ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

A molecular triad consisting of a diarylporphyrin (P) covalently linked to a carotenoid polyene (C) and a fullerene (C{sub 60}) has been prepared and studied using time-resolved spectroscopic methods. In 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution, the triad undergoes photoinduced electron transfer to yield C-P{sup .+}-C{sub 60}{sup .-}, which evolves into C{sup .+}-P-C{sub 60}{sup .-} with an overall quantum yield of 0.14. This state decays by charge recombination to yield the carotenoid triplet state with a time constant of 170 ns. Even in a glass at 77 K, C{sup .+}-P-C{sub 60}{sup .-} is formed with a quantum yield of nearly 0.10 and again decaysmore »« less

Excited States of Light-Harvesting Systems Based on Fullerene/Graphene Oxide and Porphyrin/Smaragdyrin

Journal Article Cárdenas-Jirón, Gloria ; Borges-Martínez, Merlys ; Sikorski, Ember ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

In this work, we present a theoretical study at the density functional theory (DFT) level and time-dependent DFT of the ground and singlet excited states of electron donor–acceptor complexes formed by porphyrin (TPP)/smaragdyrin (TPOS) (expanded porphyrin), as light-harvesting systems, and fullerene (C ₆₀)/graphene oxide (GO), as acceptor nanocarbon structure. We investigate the effect of the nanocarbon on UV–vis electronic absorption of porphyrin/smaragdyrin, using the functionals B3LYP, PBE, M06, and wB97XD. The results showed the lowest deviation of the Q-band for the functional M06 (0.01–0.02 eV). Electronic absorption spectra calculated for the complexes with M06 predict that (a) graphene oxide increasesmore »« less

The effect of structural changes on charge transfer states in a light-harvesting carotenoid-diaryl-porphyrin-C{sub 60} molecular triad

Journal Article Olguin, Marco ; Basurto, Luis ; Zope, Rajendra R. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

We present a detailed study of charge transfer (CT) excited states for a large number of configurations in a light-harvesting Carotenoid-diaryl-Porphyrin-C{sub 60} (CPC{sub 60}) molecular triad. The chain-like molecular triad undergoes photoinduced charge transfer process exhibiting a large excited state dipole moment, making it suitable for application to molecular-scale opto-electronic devices. An important consideration is that the structural flexibility of the CPC{sub 60} triad impacts its dynamics in solvents. Since experimentally measured dipole moments for the triad of ∼110 D and ∼160 D strongly indicate a range in structural variability in the excited state, studying the effect of structural changesmore »« less
