Charge Separation in Donor-Chromophore-Acceptor Assemblies: Linkage and Driving Force Dependence of Photoinduced Electron Transfers
摘要:
A series of covalently linked Ru(bipyridine)(3)-donor-acceptor complexes was prepared where the donor-to-chromophore and acceptor-to-chromophore methylene chain lengths were varied. Time-resolved absorption studies were performed to elucidate intramolecular electron transfer rates. The electron donor in the above series is a phenothiazine moiety Linked to a bipyridine by a (-CH2-)(p), p = 3-8 chain, and the electron acceptor is an N,N'-diquaternary-2,2'-bipyridinium moiety Linked to a bipyridine by a (-CH2-)(m), m = 2, 3, 4 chain. Oxidative quenching of the Ru(bipyridine)(3) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) state followed by phenothiazine-to-ruthenium electron transfer resulted in a long-lived charge-separated state. A wavelength-dependent excitation resulted in a slowly decaying absorption which is assigned to the excited-state phenothiazine. The magnitude of this component in the transient absorption serves as an internal standard for determining relative quantum yield for formation of the charge-separated state. Marcus inverted region behavior was observed in back electron transfer. Rate constants for electron transfer from phenothiazine to Ru(III) decreased as the length of the bridging chain increased from p = 4 to 8. Chain length independence of the back electron transfer rate in the series of complexes with varied chromophore-acceptor distances (m = 2, 3, and 4) suggests the formation of an association complex during oxidative quenching of MLCT state and argues against a sigma-bond superexchange pathway for back electron transfer.

Time-resolved emission studies have been performed on a series of covalently linked Ru(bipyridine)3-donor-acceptor complexes. In these complexes the donor is a phenothiazine moiety linked to a bipyridine by a (-CH2-)4 chain, and the acceptor is an N,N'-diquaternary-2,2'-bipyridinium moiety, linked to a bipyridine by a (-CH2-)2 chain. Excitation to the Ru(bipyridine)3 metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) state leads to a long-lived charge-separated state. The results are compared to those obtained in the analogous Ru(bipyridine)3-acceptor complexes. The results can be understood in terms of a model in which the initial step in the formation of the charge-separated state is oxidative quenching of the MLCT state, followed by phenothiazine to ruthenium electron transfer. The charge separation occurs efficiently in dichloroethane, but not in acetonitrile. This result is discussed in terms of the relative rates of acceptor-to-ruthenium reverse electron transfer in the two solvents.
