Photo-induced Intermolecular Charge Transfer in Porphyrin Complexes
نویسنده
چکیده
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 shown that for the majority of solvents the electron transfer occurs with the superexchange mechanism.

متن کاملCharge-transfer mediated photochemistry in alkene–O2 complexes
The photochemistry of a series of alkene–O2 complexes was studied in a supersonic expansion using a resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization probe of the O(P j) photoproduct at 226 nm. The relative yield of oxygen atoms from each complex was correlated to the ionization potential of the alkene species and indicates that initial excitation of an intermolecular charge-transfer state mediates the...
متن کاملAb initio modeling of the electronic circular dichroism induced in porphyrin chromophores.
The optical activity in porphyrins can easily be induced by a chiral environment, but it is difficult to determine the underlying mechanisms purely on an experimental basis. Therefore, in this study, magnitudes of the perturbational, dipolar, and direct covalent contributions to the electronic circular dichroism (CD) are evaluated with the aid of quantum chemical computations. Electronic proper...
