Photoinduced electron transfer in fixed distance chlorophyll-quinone donor-acceptor molecules
Conference

OSTI ID:6429804
A series of fixed distance chlorophyll-quinone donor-acceptor molecules have been prepared. The donor consists of either methyl pyropheophorbide a or methyl pyrochlorophyllide a, while the acceptor is either benzoquinone or naphthoquinone. The acceptors are fused to a triptycene spacer group, which in turn is attached to the donors at their vinyl groups. Picosecond transient absorption measurements have been used to identify electron transfer from the lowest excited singlet state of the donor to the acceptor as the mechanism of fluorescence quenching in these molecules. The charge separation rate constants increase from 2 x 10/sup 10/ s/sup -1/ to 4 x 10/sup 11/ s/sup -1/ as the free energy of charge separation increases, while the radical pair recombination rate constants decrease from 1.2 x 10/sup 11/ s/sup -1/ to 2 x 10/sup 9/ s/sup -1/ as the free energy of recombination increases. The resulting total reorganization energy lambda = 0.9 eV.
