Photoinduced electron transfer processes between C 60/ C 70 and phthalocyanines such as tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine ( H 2 TBPc ) and its zinc derivative ( ZnTBPc ) in polar solvents have been studied by observing the transient absorption spectra in the visible and near-IR regions. Upon predominant excitation of TBPcs with a 670 nm laser pulse in polar solvents, growth of the transient absorption bands of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was observed, accompanied by a concurrent decay of the triplet states of TBPcs (3 TBPc *). Thus it is confirmed that electron transfer occurs via 3 TBPc * in polar solvents. The electron transfer rate constants and efficiencies of electron transfer via 3 ZnTBPc * are greater than those via 3 H 2 TBPc * owing to the electron ejection ability of 3 ZnTBPc *. Solvent effects on the forward and backward electron transfer processes have been evaluated.

Two rotaxanes containing [60]fullerene (C60) as pendants on a crown-ether necklace, to which ferrocene (Fc) as axle stoppers were added, have been synthesized. One rotaxane has an ammonium cation in the centre of the axle (C60;Fc)Rot+ and the other has a neutral axle (C60;Fc)Rot. Optimized structures, calculated using a molecular orbital method, suggest that in the ground states (C60;Fc)Rot+ has a shorter distance between C60 and Fc than that of (C60;Fc)Rot. In both rotaxanes, efficient intra-rotaxane photoinduced electron-transfer processes have been observed by the selective excitation of C60 which acts as a photosensitized electron acceptor. The rates and efficiencies of the charge-separation and charge-recombination processes were evaluated by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption measurements with changing solvent polarity. From the different kinetic parameters between (C60;Fc)Rot+ and (C60;Fc)Rot, the light-induced molecular motions of these rotaxanes in the excited states and charge-separated states were separately revealed.
