Photoinduced electron and energy transfer in dyads of porphyrin dimer and perylene tetracarboxylic diimide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two compounds containing a porphyrin dimer and a perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) linked by phenyl (1) or ethylene groups (2) are prepared. The photophysical properties of these two compounds are investigated by steady state electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra and lifetime measurements. The ground state absorption spectra reveal intense interactions between the porphyrin units within the porphyrin dimer, but no interactions between the porphyirn dimer and PDI. The fluorescence spectra suggest efficient energy transfer from PDI to porphyrin accompanied by less efficient electron transfer from porphyrin to PDI. The energy transfer is not affected by the dimeric structure of porphyrin or the linkage between the porphyrin dimer and PDI. However, the electron transfer from porphyrin to PDI is significantly affected by either the linkage between the donor and the acceptor or the polarity of the solvents. The dimeric structure of the porphyrin units in these compounds significantly promotes electron transfer in nonpolar, but not in polar solvents.

Hole-transfer induced energy transfer in perylene diimide dyads with a donor-spacer-acceptor motif.
We investigate the photoinduced dynamics of perylene diimide dyads based on a donor-spacer-acceptor motif with polyyne spacers of varying length by pump-probe spectroscopy, time resolved fluorescence, chemical variation and quantum chemistry. While the dyads with pyridine based polyyne spacers undergo energy transfer with near-unity quantum efficiency, in the dyads with phenyl based polyyne spa...
