Sensitization of ultra-long-range excited-state electron transfer by energy transfer in a polymerized film.

ABSTRACT: Distance-dependent energy transfer occurs from the Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer (MLCT) excited state Ru(bpy)3(2+*) to an anthracene-acrylate derivative (Acr-An) incorporated into the polymer network of a semirigid poly(ethyleneglycol)dimethacrylate monolith. Following excitation, Ru(bpy)3(2+*) to Acr-An triplet energy transfer occurs followed by long-range, Acr-(3)An-Acr-An ? Acr-An-Acr-(3)An, energy migration. With methyl viologen dication (MV(2+)) added as a trap, Acr-(3)An + MV(2+) ? Acr-An(+) + MV(+) electron transfer results in sensitized electron transfer quenching over a distance of approximately 90 Å.

Bifurcation of excited state trajectories toward energy transfer or electron transfer directed by wave function symmetry.

Project description:This work explores the concept that differential wave function overlap between excited states can be engineered within a molecular chromophore. The aim is to control excited state wave function symmetries, so that symmetry matches or mismatches result in differential orbital overlap and define low-energy trajectories or kinetic barriers within the excited state surface, that drive excited state population toward different reaction pathways. Two donor-acceptor assemblies were explored, where visible light absorption prepares excited states of different wave function symmetry. These states could be resolved using transient absorption spectroscopy, thanks to wave function symmetry-specific photoinduced optical transitions. One of these excited states undergoes energy transfer to the acceptor, while another undertakes a back-electron transfer to restate the ground state. This differential behavior is possible thanks to the presence of kinetic barriers that prevent excited state equilibration. This strategy can be exploited to avoid energy dissipation in energy conversion or photoredox catalytic schemes.

Two-electron transfer stabilized by excited-state aromatization.

Project description:The scientific significance of excited-state aromaticity concerns with the elucidation of processes and properties in the excited states. Here, we focus on TMTQ, an oligomer composed of a central 1,6-methano[10]annulene and 5-dicyanomethyl-thiophene peripheries (acceptor-donor-acceptor system), and investigate a two-electron transfer process dominantly stabilized by an aromatization in the low-energy lying excited state. Our spectroscopic measurements quantitatively observe the shift of two ?-electrons between donor and acceptors. It is revealed that this two-electron transfer process accompanies the excited-state aromatization, producing a Baird aromatic 8? core annulene in TMTQ. Biradical character on each terminal dicyanomethylene group of TMTQ allows a pseudo triplet-like configuration on the 8? core annulene with multiexcitonic nature, which stabilizes the energetically unfavorable two-charge separated state by the formation of Baird aromatic core annulene. This finding provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of excited-state aromaticity and insight to designing functional photoactive materials.

Light-driven deracemization enabled by excited-state electron transfer.

Project description:Deracemization is an attractive strategy for asymmetric synthesis, but intrinsic energetic challenges have limited its development. Here, we report a deracemization method in which amine derivatives undergo spontaneous optical enrichment upon exposure to visible light in the presence of three distinct molecular catalysts. Initiated by an excited-state iridium chromophore, this reaction proceeds through a sequence of favorable electron, proton, and hydrogen-atom transfer steps that serve to break and reform a stereogenic C-H bond. The enantioselectivity in these reactions is jointly determined by two independent stereoselective steps that occur in sequence within the catalytic cycle, giving rise to a composite selectivity that is higher than that of either step individually. These reactions represent a distinct approach to creating out-of-equilibrium product distributions between substrate enantiomers using excited-state redox events.

Excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer within ion pairs.

Project description:The use of light to drive proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions has received growing interest, with recent focus on the direct use of excited states in PCET reactions (ES-PCET). Electrostatic ion pairs provide a scaffold to reduce reaction orders and have facilitated many discoveries in electron-transfer chemistry. Their use, however, has not translated to PCET. Herein, we show that ion pairs, formed solely through electrostatic interactions, provide a general, facile means to study an ES-PCET mechanism. These ion pairs formed readily between salicylate anions and tetracationic ruthenium complexes in acetonitrile solution. Upon light excitation, quenching of the ruthenium excited state occurred through ES-PCET oxidation of salicylate within the ion pair. Transient absorption spectroscopy identified the reduced ruthenium complex and oxidized salicylate radical as the primary photoproducts of this reaction. The reduced reaction order due to ion pairing allowed the first-order PCET rate constants to be directly measured through nanosecond photoluminescence spectroscopy. These PCET rate constants saturated at larger driving forces consistent with approaching the Marcus barrierless region. Surprisingly, a proton-transfer tautomer of salicylate, with the proton localized on the carboxylate functional group, was present in acetonitrile. A pre-equilibrium model based on this tautomerization provided non-adiabatic electron-transfer rate constants that were well described by Marcus theory. Electrostatic ion pairs were critical to our ability to investigate this PCET mechanism without the need to covalently link the donor and acceptor or introduce specific hydrogen bonding sites that could compete in alternate PCET pathways.

Bimolecular Excited-State Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer within Encounter Complexes.

Project description:Bimolecular excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET*) was observed for reaction of the triplet MLCT state of [(dpab)2Ru(4,4'-dhbpy)]2+ (dpab = 4,4'-di(n-propyl)amido-2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dhbpy = 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine) with N-methyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (MQ+) and N-benzyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (BMQ+) in dry acetonitrile solutions. The PCET* reaction products, the oxidized and deprotonated Ru complex, and the reduced protonated MQ+ can be distinguished from the excited state electron transfer (ET*) and the excited state proton transfer (PT*) products by the difference in the visible absorption spectrum of the species emerging from the encounter complex. The observed behavior differs from that of reaction of the MLCT state of [(bpy)2Ru(4,4'-dhbpy)]2+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) with MQ+, where initial ET* is followed by diffusion-limited proton transfer from the coordinated 4,4'-dhbpy to MQ0. The difference in observed behavior can be rationalized based on changes in the free energies of ET* and PT*. Substitution of bpy with dpab results in the ET* process becoming significantly more endergonic and the PT* reaction becoming somewhat less endergonic.

Stereoselectivity of Electron and Energy Transfer in the Quenching of (S/R)-Ketoprofen-(S)-Tryptophan Dyad Excited State.

Project description:Photoinduced elementary processes in chiral linked systems, consisting of drugs and tryptophan (Trp) residues, attract considerable attention due to several aspects. First of all, these are models that allow one to trace the full and partial charge transfer underlying the binding of drugs to enzymes and receptors. On the other hand, Trp fluorescence is widely used to establish the structure and conformational mobility of proteins due to its high sensitivity to the microenvironment. Therefore, the study of mechanisms of Trp fluorescence quenching in various systems has both fundamental and practical interest. An analysis of the photo-chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) and Trp fluorescence quenching in (R/S)-ketoprofen-(S)-tryptophan ((S/R)-KP-(S)-Trp) dyad carried out in this work allowed us to trace the intramolecular reversible electron transfer (ET) and obtain evidence in favor of the resonance energy transfer (RET). The fraction of dyad's singlet excited state, quenched via ET, was shown to be 7.5 times greater for the (S,S)-diastereomer than for the (R,S) analog. At the same time, the ratio of the fluorescence quantum yields shows that quenching effectiveness of (S,S)-diastereomer to be 5.4 times lower than for the (R,S) analog. It means that the main mechanism of Trp fluorescence quenching in (S/R)-KP-(S)-Trp dyad is RET.

Intramolecular electron-induced proton transfer and its correlation with excited-state intramolecular proton transfer.

Project description:Electron-induced proton transfer depicts the proton motion coupled with the attachment of a low-energy electron to a molecule, which helps to understand copious fundamental chemical processes. Intramolecular electron-induced proton transfer is a similar process that occurs within a single molecule. To date, there is only one known intramolecular example, to the best of our knowledge. By studying the 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline and 8-hydroxyquinoline molecules using anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory, and by theoretical screening of six other molecules, here we show the intramolecular electron-induced proton transfer capability of a long list of molecules that meanwhile have the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer property. Careful examination of the intrinsic electronic signatures of these molecules reveals that these two distinct processes should occur to the same category of molecules. Intramolecular electron-induced proton transfer could have potential applications such as molecular devices that are responsive to electrons or current.

Long-range hydrogen-bond relay catalyses the excited-state proton transfer reaction.

Project description:Solvent (e.g., water)-catalyzed proton transfer (SCPT) via the relay of hydrogen (H)-bonds plays a key role in proton migration. In this study, a new class of 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-g]quinolines (PyrQs) and their derivatives were synthesized, with sufficient separation of the pyrrolic proton donating and pyridinic proton accepting sites to probe excited-state SCPT. There was dual fluorescence for all PyrQs in methanol, i.e., normal (PyrQ) and tautomer 8H-pyrrolo[3,2-g]quinoline (8H-PyrQ) emissions. The fluorescence dynamics unveiled a precursor (PyrQ) and successor (8H-PyrQ) relationship and the correlation of an increasing overall excited-state SCPT rate (kSCPT) upon increasing the N(8)-site basicity. kSCPT can be expressed by the coupling reaction kSCPT = Keq × kPT, where kPT denotes the intrinsic proton tunneling rate in the relay and Keq denotes the pre-equilibrium between randomly and cyclically H-bonded solvated PyrQs. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation defined the cyclic PyrQs and analyzed the H-bond and molecular arrangement over time, which showed the cyclic PyrQs incorporating ≧3 methanol molecules. These cyclic H-bonded PyrQs are endowed with a relay-like proton transfer rate, kPT. MD simulation estimated an upper-limited Keq value of 0.02-0.03 for all studied PyrQs. When there was little change in Keq, the distinct kSCPT values for PyrQs were at different kPT values, which increased as the N(8) basicity increased, which was induced by the C(3)-substituent. kSCPT was subject to a deuterium isotope effect, where the kSCPT of 1.35 × 1010 s-1 for PyrQ-D in CH3OD was 1.68 times slower than that (2.27 × 1010 s-1) of PyrQ in CH3OH. MD simulation provided a similar Keq for PyrQ and PyrQ-D, leading to different proton tunneling rates (kPT) between PyrQ and PyrQ-D.

Excited-State Dynamics of Crossing-Controlled Energy Transfer in Europium Complexes.

Project description:Photosensitized energy transfer (EnT) phenomena occur frequently in a variety of photophysical and photochemical processes and have traditionally been treated with the donor-acceptor distance-dependent Förster and Dexter models. However, incorrect arguments and formulae were employed by ignoring energy resonance conditions and the selection rules of the state-to-state transition in special cases, especially for the sensitive intramolecular EnT of lanthanide complexes. Herein, we proposed an innovative model of energy-degeneracy-crossing-controlled EnT, which can be experimentally confirmed by time-resolved two-dimensional photoluminescence measurements. The computationally determined energy resonance region provides the most effective channel to achieve metal-to-ligand EnT beyond the distance-dependent model and sensitively bifurcates into symmetry-allowed or -forbidden channels for some representative europium antenna complexes. The outcomes of the multidisciplinary treatment contribute to a complementary EnT model that can be tuned by introducing a phosphorescence modulator and altering the antenna-related parameters of the ligand-centered energy level of the 3ππ* state and its spin-orbit coupling for the 3ππ* → S0 * transition through mechanism-guided crystal engineering and should motivate further development of mechanistic models and applications.

Efficient light-harvesting, energy migration, and charge transfer by nanographene-based nonfullerene small-molecule acceptors exhibiting unusually long excited-state lifetime in the film state.

Project description:Electron-acceptor small-molecules possessing a long exciton lifetime and a narrow energy band gap, opposing the energy gap law, are highly desirable for high-performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs) by realizing their efficient light-harvesting ability (LH), exciton diffusion (ED), and charge transfer (CT). Toward this goal, we designed an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type nonfullerene acceptor (NFA), TACIC, having an electron-donating, self-assembling two-dimensional (2D) nanographene unit, thienoazacoronene, at the center with electron-withdrawing groups at both ends. The TACIC film exhibited a narrow band gap (1.59 eV) with excellent LH. Surprisingly, the TACIC film showed an extremely long exciton lifetime (1.59 ns), suppressing undesirable nonradiative decay by its unique self-assembling behavior. When combined with a conjugated polymer donor, PBDB-T, slow ED and CT were observed (60 ps) with the excitation of TACIC owing to the large TACIC domain sizes. Nevertheless, the unusually high efficiencies of ED and CT (96% in total) were achieved by the long TACIC exciton lifetime. Additionally, unusual energy transfer (EnT) from the excited PBDB-T to TACIC was seen, demonstrating its dual LH role. The OPV device with PBDB-T and TACIC showed a high incident photon-to-current efficiency (IPCE) exceeding 70% at up to 710 nm and a power conversion efficiency of ∼10%. This result will open up avenues for a rational strategy of OPVs where LH, ED, and CT from the acceptor side as well as LH, EnT, ED, and CT from the donor side can be better designed by using 2D nanographene as a promising building block for high-performance A-D-A type NFAs.
