Photoinduced Electron Transfer-Promoted Reactions Using Exciplex-Type Organic Photoredox Catalyst Directly Linking Donor and Acceptor Arenes.

ABSTRACT: Directly linked donor and acceptor arenes, such as phenanthrene/naphthalene/biphenyl and 1,3-dicyanobenzene were found to work as photoredox catalysts in the photoreactions of indene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, and 4-methoxyphenylacetic acid. The new stable organic photocatalyst forms an intramolecular exciplex (excited complex) when irradiated in a polar solvent and shows redox catalyst activity, even at low concentrations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of an intramolecular exciplex working as a redox catalyst.

Exciplex emissions derived from exceptionally long-distance donor and acceptor molecules.

Project description:Intermolecular electron-hole coupling in organic semiconductor excited states plays important roles in organic light-emitting diodes and organic photovoltaics, and the distance of the coupling is typically only on the order of a few nanometers. Here, we report exceptionally long-distance coupled exciplex emissions between electron-donor and electron-acceptor molecules even with a 70 nm-thick spacer layer. Donor/spacer (∼70 nm)/acceptor-type stacked films showed a low-energy band emission, which is not ascribed to the emission of the donor, spacer, and acceptor themselves, but well corresponds to the energy difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital of the donor and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the acceptor. Delayed transient photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) decays and PL quenching by oxygen at the low-energy band were observed and are consistent with the characteristics of the exciplex species.

Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Donor-Acceptor Complexes: Isotope Effect and Dynamic Symmetry Breaking.

Project description:Electron-nuclear (vibronic) coupling has emerged as an important factor in determining the efficiency of energy transfer and charge separation in natural and artificial photosynthetic systems. Here we investigate the photoinduced charge-transfer process in a hydrogen-bonded donor-acceptor molecular complex. By using real-time quantum-classical simulations based on time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations, we follow in detail the relaxation from the Franck-Condon point to the region of strong nonadiabatic coupling where electron transfer occurs. We elucidate how the charge transfer is coupled to specific vibrational modes and how it is affected by isotope substitution. The importance of resonance in nuclear and electron dynamics and the role of dynamic symmetry breaking are emphasized. Using the dipole moment as a descriptive parameter, exchange of angular momentum between nuclear and electronic subsystems in an electron-nuclear resonant process is inferred. The performed simulations support a nonadiabatic conversion via adiabatic passage process that was recently put forward. These results are relevant in deriving rational design principles for solar-to-fuel conversion devices.

A general electron donor-acceptor complex for photoactivation of arenes <i>via</i> thianthrenation.

Project description:General photoactivation of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes between arylsulfonium salts and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane with visible light or natural sunlight was discovered. This practical and efficient mode enables the production of aryl radicals under mild conditions, providing an unrealized opportunity for two-step para-selective C-H functionalization of complex arenes. The novel mode for generating aryl radicals via an EDA complex was well supported by UV-vis absorbance measurements, nuclear magnetic resonance titration experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The method was applied to the regio- and stereo-selective arylation of various N-heterocycles under mild conditions, yielding an assembly of challengingly linked heteroaryl-(hetero)aryl products. Remarkably, the meaningful couplings of bioactive molecules with structurally complex drugs or agricultural pharmaceuticals were achieved to display favorable in vitro antitumor activities, which will be of great value in academia or industry.

Catalyst-Free Decarbonylative Trifluoromethylthiolation Enabled by Electron Donor-Acceptor Complex Photoactivation.

Project description:A catalyst- and additive-free decarbonylative trifluoromethylthiolation of aldehyde feedstocks has been developed. This operationally simple, scalable, and open-to-air transformation is driven by the selective photoexcitation of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, stemming from the association of 1,4-dihydropyridines (donor) with N-(trifluoromethylthio)phthalimide (acceptor), to trigger intermolecular single-electron transfer events under ambient- and visible light-promoted conditions. Extension to other electron acceptors enables the synthesis of thiocyanates and thioesters, as well as the difunctionalization of [1.1.1] propellane. The mechanistic intricacies of this photochemical paradigm are elucidated through a combination of experimental efforts and high-level quantum mechanical calculations [dispersion-corrected (U)DFT, DLPNO-CCSD(T), and TD-DFT]. This comprehensive study highlights the necessity for EDA complexation for efficient alkyl radical generation. Computation of subsequent ground state pathways reveals that SH2 addition of the alkyl radical to the intermediate radical EDA complex is extremely exergonic and results in a charge transfer event from the dihydropyridine donor to the N-(trifluoromethylthio)phthalimide acceptor of the EDA complex. Experimental and computational results further suggest that product formation also occurs via SH2 reaction of alkyl radicals with 1,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)disulfane, generated in-situ through combination of thiyl radicals.

Ultrafast photoinduced dynamics of a donor-([Formula: see text])bridge-acceptor based merocyanine dye.

Project description:Merocyanine dyes are of great interest amongst researchers due to their nonlinear optical (NLO) properties and solvatochromism. Molecular structure of these dyes constitutes conjugated pathway between the donor and acceptor substituents, with lowest energy transition of [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text]* character. To rationalize the design of these dyes and deduce structure-property relationship, it is eminent to unravel the excited state dynamics in these complex molecular structures in different solvents. Here we have studied excited state dynamics of a merocyanine dye known as HB194, which has shown commendable efficiency in small molecule based bulk heterojuction solar cells. We have employed femtosecond transient absorption in combination with the quantum chemistry calculations to unravel the solvent dependent charge transfer dynamics of HB194. The excited state decays of the HB194 in different solvents show multi-exponential components. The analysis of the time-resolved data reveals that the polar solvents induce conformationally relaxed intramolecular charge transfer state. In non-polar solvent cyclohexane, only solvent-stabilized ICT state is observed. Additionally, we observe an anomalously red-shifted emission in ethylene glycol centred at [Formula: see text] 750 nm. Our computational calculations suggest the presence of molecular dimers resulting into observed red-shifted emission band. Our work therefore underscores the importance of gathering molecular-level insight into the system-bath interactions for designing next generation merocynanine-based solvatochromic dyes.

Photoinduced charge transfer and electrochemical properties of triphenylamine I(h)-Sc3N@C80 donor-acceptor conjugates.

Project description:Two isomeric [5,6]-pyrrolidine-I(h)-Sc(3)N@C(80) electron donor-acceptor conjugates containing triphenylamine (TPA) as the donor system were synthesized. Electrochemical and photophysical studies of the novel conjugates were made and compared with those of their C(60) analogues, in order to determine (i) the effect of the linkage position (N-substituted versus 2-substituted pyrrolidine) of the donor system in the formation of photoinduced charge separated states, (ii) the thermal stability toward the retro-cycloaddition reaction, and (iii) the effect of changing C(60) for I(h)-Sc(3)N@C(80) as the electron acceptor. It was found that when the donor is connected to the pyrrolidine nitrogen atom, the resulting dyad produces a significantly longer lived radical pair than the corresponding 2-substituted isomer for both the C(60) and I(h)-Sc(3)N@C(80) dyads. In addition to that, the N-substituted TPA-I(h)-Sc(3)N@C(80) dyad has much better thermal stability than the 2-substituted one. Finally, the I(h)-Sc(3)N@C(80) dyads have considerably longer lived charge separated states than their C(60) analogues, thus approving the advantage of using I(h)-Sc(3)N@C(80) instead of C(60) as the acceptor for the construction of fullerene based donor-acceptor conjugates. These findings are important for the design and future application of I(h)-Sc(3)N@C(80) dyads as materials for the construction of plastic organic solar cells.

Optical control of neuronal firing <i>via</i> photoinduced electron transfer in donor-acceptor conjugates.

Project description:A series of porphyrin-fullerene linked molecules has been synthesized to evaluate the effects of substituents and molecular structures on their charge-separation yield and the lifetime of a final charge-separated state in various hydrophilic environments. The selected high-performance molecule effectively achieved depolarization in a plasma cell membrane by visible light as well as two-photon excitation using a near-infrared light laser. Moreover, it was revealed that the depolarization can trigger neuronal firing in rat hippocampal neurons, demonstrating the potential and versatility for controlling cell functions using light.

Probing conformational dynamics in single donor-acceptor synthetic molecules by means of photoinduced reversible electron transfer.

Project description:We use single-molecule fluorescence lifetimes to probe dynamics of photoinduced reversible electron transfer occurring between triphenylamine (donor) and perylenediimide (acceptor) in single molecules of a polyphenylenic rigid dendrimer embedded in polystyrene. Here, reversible electron transfer in individual donor-acceptor molecules results in delayed fluorescence that is emitted with a high photon count rate. By monitoring fluorescence decay times on a photon-by-photon basis, we find fluctuations in both forward and reverse electron transfer spanning a broad time range, from milliseconds to seconds. Fluctuations are induced by conformational changes in the dendrimer structure as well by polystyrene chain reorientation. The conformational changes are related to changes in the dihedral angle of adjacent phenyl rings located in the dendritic branch near the donor transferring the charge, a torsional motion that results in millisecond fluctuations in the "through-bond" donor-acceptor electronic coupling. Polymer chain reorientation leads to changes in the local polarity experienced by the donors and to changes in the solvation of the charge-separated state. As a result, switching between different donor moieties within the same single molecule becomes possible and induces fluctuations in decay time on a time scale of seconds.

A chiral nickel DBFOX complex as a bifunctional catalyst for visible-light-promoted asymmetric photoredox reactions.

Project description:The enantioselective photoredox reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and tertiary/secondary α-silylamines was enabled by a readily available single NiII-DBFOX catalyst (DBFOX = 4,6-bis((R)-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)dibenzo[b,d]furan) under visible light conditions. The non-precious chiral catalyst is involved in the photochemical process to initiate single electron transfer and at the same time provides a well-organized chiral environment for the subsequent radical transformations. Good to excellent enantioselectivities (80-99% ee) were obtained for the formation of chiral γ-amino carboxylic acid derivatives and γ-lactams.
