The present study deals with the study of charge transfer and photophysical properties of synthesized non-metallated fullerene-porphyrin dyad-III (H2P3-C60) via Prato reaction. The porphyrin has been substituted with electron donating groups (3,5-di-tert-butylbenzene) at meso positions facilitating the effective charge transfer for the formation of long lived charge-separated states in dyad molecule. The photophysical and thermal activated conducting properties of dyad was comprehensively studied to establish the effect of substituents and also by comparing with our reported dyad II having only meso-phenyl groups. The charge separation efficiency in dyad III has been calculated in solution as well as in films showing 62% and ˜99% quenching efficiency respectively suggesting faster photoinduced charge transfer from porphyrin to fullerene moiety. Transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) showed formation of longer lived charge separated states in solution as well as in films compared to dyad-II. The thermal activated electrical conductivity measurement of dyad-III showed conductivity enhancement on increasing temperature. The activation energy for conduction was also found lower than dyad-II suggesting a substantial effect of electron-donating groups present on porphyrin ring in conducting behavior of dyad-III. Through this study with a very simple dyad structure we established that the presence of electron donating groups in dayds, highly influence photophysical and electronic properties. This special characteristic further makes them potential material to be used in various opto-electronic applications.

ABSTRACTThis paper overviews recent work that examined the optical properties of mono-disperse, PPE-based π-conjugated oligomers that contain a 2,2-bipyridine-5,5'-diyl metal coordinating unit. The photophysical properties of the free oligomers and metallated oligomers that contain the -Ru(bpy)22+ and -Re(CO)3Cl transition metal complexes coordinated to the bpy-diyl unit have been characterized by absorption, photoluminescence and transient absorption spectroscopy. In addition, we report the photophysics of a novel organometallic “square” that features “sides” consisting of a PPE-type π-conjugated oligomer and “corners” that consist of (dbubpy)PtII(acetylide)2 units (where dbubpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine).

We report here the design and synthesis of corrole-metallocene dyads consisting of a metallocene (either ferrocene (Dyad 1) or mixed sandwich [Formula: see text]-[C[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text](COOH)]Co([Formula: see text]-C[Formula: see text]Ph[Formula: see text] (Dyad 2)) connected via an ester linkage at meso phenyl position. Both the dyads were characterized by [Formula: see text]H NMR, MALDI-TOF, UV-visible, fluorescence spectroscopies (steady-state, picosecond time-resolved), femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TA) and electrochemical methods. The absorption spectra of these dyads showed slight broadening and splitting of the Soret band that indicates a weak ground state interaction between the corrole macrocycle and metallocene part of the present donor–acceptor (D–A) system. However, in both the dyad systems, fluorescence emission of the corrole was quenched in polar solvents as compared to its parent compound 10-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5,15-bis-(pentafluorophenyl ) corrole (Ph-Corr). The quenching was more pronounced in ferrocene derivatives than in cobaltocenyl derivatives. Transient absorption studies confirm the absence of photoinduced electron transfer from metallocene to correl for these dyad systems and the quenching of singlet state of corrole is found to enhance intersystem crossing due to heavy atom effect.
