Two different donor–acceptor systems based on corrole–ferrocene (Cor–Fc) and corrole–anthraquinone (Cor–AQ) have been designed and synthesized. Excited state properties of these dyads indicates intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) take place in these dyads and the electron-transfer rates (kET) was found to be ∼1011s−1. The charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR) are found to be identical.

Photoinduced electron transfer in CPP-based donor–acceptor complexes C60⊂[10]CPP and Li+@C60⊂[10]CPP was studied using DFT/TDDFT. Unusual blue shift of charge separated states for Li+@C60⊂[10]CPP complexes in the polar medium is predicted.

Two types of cobalt porphyrins, viz., meso-tetrakis(tolylporphyrinato)cobalt(II), (TTP)Co (1), and meso-tetrakis(triphenylamino porphyrinato)cobalt(II), [(TPA)4P]Co, (2) were self-assembled via metal-ligand axial coordination of phenyl imidazole functionalized fulleropyrrolidine, ImC[Formula: see text] to form a new series of donor–acceptor constructs. A 1:2 complex formation with ImC[Formula: see text] was established in the case of (TTP)Co while for [(TPA)4P]Co only a 1:1 complex was possible to positively identify. The binding constants [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for step-wise addition of ImC[Formula: see text] to (TTP)Co were found to be 1.07 × 105 and 3.20 × 104 M[Formula: see text], respectively. For [(TPA)4P]Co:ImC[Formula: see text], the measured [Formula: see text] values was found to be 6.48 × 104 M[Formula: see text], slightly smaller than that observed for (TTP)Co. Although both cobalt porphyrins were non-fluorescent, they were able to quench the fluorescence of ImC[Formula: see text] indicating occurrence of excited state events in the supramolecular donor-acceptor complexes. Electrochemistry coupled with spectroelectrochemistry, revealed the formation of cobalt(III) porphyrin cation instead of a cobalt(II) porphyrin radical cation, as the main product, during oxidation of phenyl imidazole coordinated cobalt porphyrin. With the help of computational and electrochemical results, an energy level diagram was constructed to witness excited state photo-events. Competitive energy and electron transfer from excited CoP to coordinated ImC[Formula: see text], and electron transfer from Im1C[Formula: see text]* to cobalt(II) porphyrin resulting into the formation of PCo[Formula: see text]:ImC[Formula: see text] charge separated state was possible to envision from the energy diagram. Finally, using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and data analysis by Glotaran, it was possible to establish sequential occurrence of energy transfer and charge separation processes. The lifetime of the final charge separated state was [Formula: see text] 2 ns. A slightly better charge stabilization was observed in the case of [(TPA)4P]Co:ImC[Formula: see text] due to the presence of electron rich, peripheral triphenylamine substituents on the cobalt porphyrin.

A zinc(ii)-phthalocyanine-flavin dyad has been synthesized by Heck-type cross-coupling between a flavin that bears a p-iodophenyl group and a phthalocyanine functionalized with a vinyl moiety. Electrochemical experiments reveal that no significant interaction occurs at the ground state between the two electroactive subunits. However, the occurrence of a photoinduced electron transfer in this donor–acceptor conjugate is observed in transient absorption experiments. Charge-separation (i.e., 4.0 × 1011 s–1) and charge-recombination dynamics in benzonitrile (2.2 × 1010 s–1) reveal a remarkable stabilization of the radical ion pair in this solvent.

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.
