On spin-exchange and electron-transfer rates in bacterial photosynthesis.
A discrepancy is explored regarding the spin exchange integral estimated from magnetic field effects on recombination of the bacteriochlorophyll dimer cation (Bchl)(2)+ and the bacteriopheophytin anion Bph(-) and the measured electron transfer rate between Bph and electronically excited (Bchl)(2). In one explanation considered here there are two sites for the electron or for the hole, with a ho...
متن کاملAccumulative electron transfer: multiple charge separation in artificial photosynthesis.
To achieve artificial photosynthesis it is necessary to couple the single-electron event of photoinduced charge separation with the multi-electron reactions of fuel formation and water splitting. Therefore, several rounds of light-induced charge separation are required to accumulate enough redox equivalents at the catalytic sites for the target chemistry to occur, without any sacrificial donors...
متن کاملExcitation dependent bidirectional electron transfer in phthalocyanine-functionalised MoS2 nanosheets.
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal chalcogenides such as 2D MoS2 are considered prime candidate materials for the design of next generation optoelectronics. Functionalisation of these materials is considered to be a key step in tailoring their properties towards specific applications and unlocking their full potential. Here we present a van der Waals functionalisation strategy for creating M...
متن کاملSyntrophic anaerobic photosynthesis via direct interspecies electron transfer
Microbial phototrophs, key primary producers on Earth, use H2O, H2, H2S and other reduced inorganic compounds as electron donors. Here we describe a form of metabolism linking anoxygenic photosynthesis to anaerobic respiration that we call 'syntrophic anaerobic photosynthesis'. We show that photoautotrophy in the green sulfur bacterium Prosthecochloris aestaurii can be driven by either electron...
متن کاملMimicking the antenna-electron transfer properties of photosynthesis.
A molecular assembly based on derivatized polystyrene is described, which mimics both the light-harvesting and energy-conversion steps of photosynthesis. The system is unique in that the two key parts of a photosynthetic system are incorporated in a functional assembly constructed from polypyridine complexes of Ru(II). This system is truly artificial, as none of the components used in construct...
