Rates and energetics of intramolecular electron transfer processes in conjugated metallofullerenes.

چکیده
In this paper, we report on the design, redox potentials, excited state energies and radical ion pair state energies in electron donor-acceptor conjugates comprising the electron-donating π-extended tetrathiafulvalene and several electron-accepting fullerenes. To this end, we contrast an empty fullerene, that is, C₆₀, with two endohedral metallofullerenes, that is, open-shell La@C₈₂ and closed-shell La₂@C₈₀, in terms of charge separation and charge recombination dynamics.

Entropic Driving-Force Effects upon Preexponential Factors for Intramolecular Electron Transfer: Implications for the Assessment of Nonadiabaticity
Considerable effort has been directed recently toward measuring rate parameters for intramolecular redox reactions, typically involving electron transfer between a pair of transition metals linked by an organic bridge.lW3 Such reactions offer important advantages over bimolecular processes for investigating detailed aspects of electron transfer, since the uncertainties concerning the energetics...
متن کاملComputational study of the intramolecular proton transfer between 6-hydroxypicolinic acid tautomeric forms and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their dimers
This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...
متن کاملThioacetyl-terminated ferrocene-anthraquinone conjugates: synthesis, photo- and electrochemical properties triggered by protonation-induced intramolecular electron transfer.
Two thioacetyl-terminated ferrocene-anthraquinone donor-acceptor molecules with different pi-electron conjugative units have been synthesized via a series of Stille and Sonagashira reactions. Their photochemical and electrochemical properties before and after addition of an organic acid are investigated, indicating that these complexes are sensitive to external perturbation of protonation, lead...
متن کاملElectron transfer rates and Franck–Condon factors: an application to the early electron transfer steps in photosynthetic reaction centers
Mechanistic aspects of some of the early electron transfer steps occurring in photosynthetic reaction centers are discussed. Starting from the normal modes of the redox cofactors involved in the electron transfer processes, we show how a series of quantities which regulate electron transfer rates, such as (i) the electron transfer active modes, (ii) the intramolecular reorganization energy, and...
متن کاملDonor-substituted peralkynylated "radiaannulenes": novel all-carbon macrocycles with an intense intramolecular charge-transfer.
A novel class of planar, highly conjugated all-carbon macrocycles, which we christened "radiaannulenes", have been prepared based on acetylenic scaffolding using tetraethynylethene (TEE) building blocks; these structures are powerful electron acceptors and, upon peripheral substitution with electron-donating N,N-dialkylanilino groups, display intense intramolecular charge-transfer.
