Electron Transfer in Porphyrin Complexes in Different Solvents
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electron transfer in different solvents is investigated for systems consisting of donor, bridge and acceptor. It is assumed that vibrational relaxation is much faster than the electron transfer. Electron transfer rates and final populations of the acceptor state are calculated numerically and in an approximate fashion analytically. In wide parameter regimes these solutions are in very good agreement. The theory is applied to the electron transfer in H2P− ZnP−Q with free-base porphyrin (H2P) being the donor, zinc porphyrin (ZnP) the bridge, and quinone (Q) the acceptor. It is shown that the electron transfer rates can be controlled efficiently by changing the energy of the bridging level which can be done by changing the solvent. The effect of the solvent is determined for different models. PACS numbers: 31.70.Hq, 34.70.+e, 82.20.Rp Typeset using REVTEX 1

متن کاملPhoto-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 ...

متن کاملPhotodynamics in stable complexes composed of a zinc porphyrin tripod and pyridyl porphyrins assembled by multiple coordination bonds.
A tripod zinc porphyrin (TPZn(3)) forms a stable 1:1 complex with gold(III) tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (AuTPyP(+)) and free-base tris(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (2H-Py(3)P) in nonpolar solvents. The strong binding of TPZn(3) with AuTPyP(+) or 2H-Py(3)P results from the encapsulation of AuTPyP(+) or 2H-Py(3)P inside the cavity of TPZn(3) through multiple coordination bonds, as indicated by UV-vis-NIR, E...
