Solid-state photo-induced charge transfer in Keggin-based hybrid materials

Donor–acceptor graphene-based hybrid materials facilitating photo-induced electron-transfer reactions

Graphene research and in particular the topic of chemical functionalization of graphene has exploded in the last decade. The main aim is to increase the solubility and thereby enhance the processability of the material, which is otherwise insoluble and inapplicable for technological applications when stacked in the form of graphite. To this end, initially, graphite was oxidized under harsh cond...

Hierarchical Corannulene‐Based Materials: Energy Transfer and Solid‐State Photophysics

We report the first example of a donor-acceptor corannulene-containing hybrid material with rapid ligand-to-ligand energy transfer (ET). Additionally, we provide the first time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) data for any corannulene-based compounds in the solid state. Comprehensive analysis of PL data in combination with theoretical calculations of donor-acceptor exciton coupling was employed ...

Photo-induced Intermolecular Charge Transfer in Porphyrin Complexes

Optical excitation of the sequential supermolecule H2P −ZnP −Q induces an electron transfer from the free-base porphyrin (H2P ) to the quinone (Q) via the zinc porphyrin (ZnP ). This process is modeled by equations of motion for the reduced density matrix which are solved numerically and approximately analytically. These two solutions agree very well in a great region of parameter space. It is ...
