Metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited state lifetimes of [Fe(CN)4(2,2’-bipyridine)]2- and [Fe(CN)4(2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine)]2-exhibit strong solvent and ligand dependence. We conclude that these effects can be described with Marcus-like model where changes in the MLCT energy correspond directly to the changes in the electron transfer driving force and all the other factors (e.g. reorganization energy) can be considered constant.

Control of electron-transfer processes is described for a number of electron donor-acceptor dyads containing porphyrins or phthalocyanines as models for the photosynthetic reaction center. The rates for intramolecular electron transfer in the dyads are controlled by the driving force and reorganization energy of electron transfer. The small reorganization energy of electron transfer reactions and large driving force of charge recombination are required to form long-lived charge-separated states. A directly linked zinc chlorin-fullerene dyad, especially, has the longest lifetime of charge-separated state at 120 s at -150 °C, which is a much longer lifetime and higher energy than those of natural photosynthetic reaction centers. On the other hand, the charge-separated states of the phthalocyanine-based donor-acceptor dyads (silicon phthalocyanine-fullerene, and zinc phthalocyanine-perylenebisimide) are short-lived since charge recombination forms the low-lying triplet excited state of the chromophore. The energy of the charge-separated state of a zinc phthalocyanine-perylenebisimide dyad is decreased by binding of metal ions to the radical anion moiety in order to be lower than the triplet excited state. This results in formation of a long-lived charge-separated state. The mechanistic viability of formation of long-lived charge-separated states is demonstrated by a variety of examples based on the Marcus theory of electron transfer.

Catalytic control of electron-transfer processes is described for a number of photoinduced and thermal electron-transfer reactions, including back electron transfer in the charge-separated state of artificial photosynthetic compounds. The intermolecular and intramolecular electron-transfer processes are accelerated by complexation of radical anions, produced in the electron transfer, with metal ions that act as Lewis acids. Quantitative measures to determine the Lewis acidity of a variety of metal ions are given in relation with the promoting effects of metal ions in the electron-transfer reactions. The mechanistic viability of metal ion catalysis in electron-transfer reactions is demonstrated by a variety of examples of both thermal and photochemical reactions that involve metal ion-promoted electron-transfer processes as the rate-determining steps, which are made possible to proceed by complexation of radical anions with metal ions.
