DNA-assisted photoinduced charge transfer between a cationic poly(phenylene vinylene) and a cationic fullerene.

چکیده
Water-soluble cationic conjugated poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and cationic fullerene were complexed with negatively charged single stranded DNA and double stranded DNA via electrostatic interactions to achieve photoinduced charge transfer with efficiencies as high as those observed from oppositely charged, cationic PPV and anionic fullerene but with distinctly different quenching mechanisms.

In this work, a multifunctional platform based on the versatile function of cationic poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) derivative has been developed for white light-enhanced siRNA delivery in a remote control manner. Conjugated polyelectrolyte PPV, which possesses cationic and amphipathic features, can effectively self-assemble with siRNA and deliver siRNA into living cells. More importantly, PP...
متن کاملSynthesis and self-assembly of an amphiphilic poly(phenylene ethynylene) ionomer.
We have synthesized a conjugated amphiphilic polyelectrolyte, a poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE), and the structurally analogous neutral polymer. The solution-phase aggregation of the uncharged PPE can be reversibly controlled by varying the solvent polarity and concentration, while the charged polymer appears to self-assemble at any concentration in compatible solvents. These conclusions are b...
متن کاملPOLARON DYNAMICS. Long-lived photoinduced polaron formation in conjugated polyelectrolyte-fullerene assemblies.
The efficiency of biological photosynthesis results from the exquisite organization of photoactive elements that promote rapid movement of charge carriers out of a critical recombination range. If synthetic organic photovoltaic materials could mimic this assembly, charge separation and collection could be markedly enhanced. We show that micelle-forming cationic semiconducting polymers can coass...
متن کاملAxle charge effects on photoinduced electron transfer processes in rotaxanes containing porphyrin and [60]fullerene.
Two rotaxanes containing zinc porphyrin (ZnP) with crown ether and [60]fullerene (C(60)) with cationic and neutral axles are synthesized. Optimized structures calculated by molecular orbital methods indicate that the rotaxane with an ammonium cation in the center of the axle has a shorter distance between the C(60) and ZnP moieties than that of the rotaxane with a neutral axle because of acylat...
