Photoinduced Electron vs. Concerted Proton Electron Transfer Pathways in Sn^IV (l-Tryptophanato)₂ Porphyrin Conjugates.

ABSTRACT: Aromatic amino acids such as l-tyrosine and l-tryptophan are deployed in natural systems to mediate electron transfer (ET) reactions. While tyrosine oxidation is always coupled to deprotonation (proton-coupled electron-transfer, PCET), both ET-only and PCET pathways can occur in the case of the tryptophan residue. In the present work, two novel conjugates 1 and 2, based on a Sn^IV tetraphenylporphyrin and Sn^IV octaethylporphyrin, respectively, as the chromophore/electron acceptor and l-tryptophan as electron/proton donor, have been prepared and thoroughly characterized by a combination of different techniques including single crystal X-ray analysis. The photophysical investigation of 1 and 2 in CH₂ Cl₂ in the presence of pyrrolidine as a base shows that different quenching mechanisms are operating upon visible-light excitation of the porphyrin component, namely photoinduced electron transfer and concerted proton electron transfer (CPET), depending on the chromophore identity and spin multiplicity of the excited state. The results are compared with those previously described for metal-mediated analogues featuring Sn^IV porphyrin chromophores and l-tyrosine as the redox active amino acid and well illustrate the peculiar role of l-tryptophan with respect to PCET.

Sn(IV)porphyrin-Incorporated TiO2 Nanotubes for Visible Light-Active Photocatalysis.

Project description:In this study, two distinct photocatalysts, namely tin(IV)porphyrin-sensitized titanium dioxide nanotubes (SnP-TNTs) and titanium dioxide nanofibers (TNFs), were synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. SnP-TNTs were formed through the hydrothermal reaction of NaOH with TiO2 (P-25) nanospheres in the presence of Sn(IV)porphyrin (SnP), resulting in a transformation into Sn(IV)porphyrin-imbedded nanotubes. In contrast, under similar reaction conditions but in the absence of SnP, TiO2 (P-25) nanospheres evolved into nanofibers (TNFs). Comparative analysis revealed that SnP-TNTs exhibited a remarkable enhancement in the visible light photodegradation of model pollutants compared to SnP, TiO2 (P-25), or TNFs. The superior photodegradation activity of SnP-TNTs was primarily attributed to synergistic effects between TiO2 (P-25) and SnP, leading to altered conformational frameworks, increased surface area, enhanced thermo-chemical stability, unique morphology, and outstanding visible light photodegradation of cationic methylene blue dye (MB dye). With a rapid removal rate of 95% within 100 min (rate constant = 0.0277 min-1), SnP-TNTs demonstrated excellent dye degradation capacity, high reusability, and low catalyst loading, positioning them as more efficient than conventional catalysts. This report introduces a novel direction for porphyrin-incorporated catalytic systems, holding significance for future applications in environmental remediation.

Water-Assisted Concerted Proton-Electron Transfer at Co(II)-Aquo Sites in Polyoxotungstates With Photogenerated RuIII (bpy)3 3+ Oxidant.

Project description:The cobalt substituted polyoxotungstate [Co6 (H2 O)2 (α-B-PW9 O34 )2 (PW6 O26 )]17- (Co6) displays fast electron transfer (ET) kinetics to photogenerated RuIII (bpy)3 3+ , 4 to 5 orders of magnitude faster than the corresponding ET observed for cobalt oxide nanoparticles. Mechanistic evidence has been acquired indicating that: (i) the one-electron oxidation of Co6 involves Co(II) aquo or Co(II) hydroxo groups (abbreviated as Co6(II)-OH2 and Co6(II)-OH, respectively, whose speciation in aqueous solution is associated to a pKa of 7.6), and generates a Co(III)-OH moiety (Co6(III)-OH), as proven by transient absorption spectroscopy; (ii) at pH>pKa , the Co6(II)-OH→RuIII (bpy)3 3+ ET occurs via bimolecular kinetics, with a rate constant k close to the diffusion limit and dependent on the ionic strength of the medium, consistent with reaction between charged species; (iii) at pH <pKa , the process involves Co6(II)-OH2 →Co6(III)-OH transformation and proceeds via a multiple-site, concerted proton electron transfer (CPET) where water assists the transfer of the proton, as proven by the absence of effect of buffer base concentrations on the rate of the ET and by a H/D kinetic isotope in a range of 1.2-1.4. The reactivity of water is ascribed to its organization on the surface of the polyanionic scaffold through hydrogen bond networking involving the Co(II)-OH2 group.

Activationless Multiple-Site Concerted Proton-Electron Tunneling.

Project description:The transfer of protons and electrons is key to energy conversion and storage, from photosynthesis to fuel cells. Increased understanding and control of these processes are needed. A new anthracene-phenol-pyridine molecular triad was designed to undergo fast photoinduced multiple-site concerted proton-electron transfer (MS-CPET), with the phenol moiety transferring an electron to the photoexcited anthracene and a proton to the pyridine. Fluorescence quenching and transient absorption experiments in solutions and glasses show rapid MS-CPET (3.2 × 1010 s-1 at 298 K). From 5.5 to 90 K, the reaction rate and kinetic isotope effect (KIE) are independent of temperature, with zero Arrhenius activation energy. From 145 to 350 K, there are only slight changes with temperature. This MS-CPET reaction thus occurs by tunneling of both the proton and electron, in different directions. Since the reaction proceeds without significant thermal activation energy, the rate constant indicates the magnitude of the electron/proton double tunneling probability.

Separating Proton and Electron Transfer Effects in Three-Component Concerted Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Reactions.

Project description:Multiple-site concerted proton-electron transfer (MS-CPET) reactions were studied in a three-component system. 1-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMPOH) was oxidized to the stable radical TEMPO by electron transfer to ferrocenium oxidants coupled to proton transfer to various pyridine bases. These MS-CPET reactions contrast with the usual reactivity of TEMPOH by hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) to a single e-/H+ acceptor. The three-component reactions proceed by pre-equilibrium formation of a hydrogen-bonded adduct between TEMPOH and the pyridine base, and the adduct is then oxidized by the ferrocenium in a bimolecular MS-CPET step. The second-order rate constants, measured using stopped-flow kinetic techniques, spanned 4 orders of magnitude. An advantage of this system is that the MS-CPET driving force could be independently varied by changing either the pKa of the base or the reduction potential (E°) of the oxidant. Changes in ?G°MS-CPET from either source had the same effect on the MS-CPET rate constants, and a combined Brønsted plot of ln(kMS-CPET) vs ln(Keq) was linear with a slope of 0.46. These results imply a synchronous concerted mechanism, in which the proton and electron transfer components of the CPET process make equal contributions to the rate constants. The only outliers to the Brønsted correlation are the reactions with sterically hindered pyridines, which apparently hinder the close approach of proton donor and acceptor that facilitates MS-CPET. These three-component reactions are compared with a related HAT reaction of TEMPOH, with the 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxyl radical. The MS-CPET and HAT oxidations of TEMPOH at the same driving force occurred with similar rate constants. While this is an imperfect comparison, the data suggest that the separation of the proton and electron to different reagents does not significantly inhibit the proton-coupled electron transfer process.

Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production by the Sensitization of Sn(IV)-Porphyrin Embedded in a Nafion Matrix Coated on TiO2.

Project description:Efficient utilization of visible light for photocatalytic hydrogen production is one of the most important issues to address. This report describes a facile approach to immobilize visible-light sensitizers on TiO2 surfaces. To effectively utilize the sensitization of Sn(IV) porphyrin species for photocatalytic hydrogen production, perfluorosulfonate polymer (Nafion) matrix coated-TiO2 was fabricated. Nafion coated-TiO2 readily adsorbed trans-diaqua[meso-tetrakis(4-pyridinium)porphyrinato]tin(IV) cation [(TPyHP)Sn(OH2)2]6+ via an ion-exchange process. The uptake of [(TPyHP)Sn(OH2)2]6+ in an aqueous solution completed within 30 min, as determined by UV-vis spectroscopy. The existence of Sn(IV) porphyrin species embedded in the Nafion matrix coated on TiO2 was confirmed by zeta potential measurements, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, TEM combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Sn(IV)-porphyrin cationic species embedded in the Nafion matrix were successfully used as visible-light sensitizer for photochemical hydrogen generation. This photocatalytic system performed 45% better than the uncoated TiO2 system. In addition, the performance at pH 7 was superior to that at pH 3 or 9. This work revealed that Nafion matrix coated-TiO2 can efficiently produce hydrogen with a consistent performance by utilizing a freshly supplied cationic Sn(IV)-porphyrin sensitizer in a neutral solution.

Synthesis and structure of a family of rhodium polystannide clusters [Rh@Sn10]3-, [Rh@Sn12]3-, [Rh2@Sn17]6- and the first triply-fused stannide, [Rh3@Sn24]5.

Project description:Through relatively subtle changes in reaction conditions, we have been able to isolate four distinct Rh/Sn cluster compounds, [Rh@Sn10]3-, [Rh@Sn12]3-, [Rh2@Sn17]6- and [Rh3@Sn24]5-, from the reaction of K4Sn9 with [(COE)2Rh(?-Cl)]2(COE = cyclooctene). The last of these has a hitherto unknown molecular topology, an edge-fused polyhedron containing three Rh@Sn10 subunits, and represents the largest endohedral Group 14 Zintl cluster yet to have been isolated from solution. DFT has been used to place these new species in the context of known cluster chemistry. ESI-MS experiments on the reaction mixtures reveal the ubiquitous presence of {RhSn8} fragments that may play a role in cluster growth.

The concerted proton-electron transfer mechanism of proton migration in the electrochemical interface.

Project description:The proton migration in the electrochemical interface is a fundamental electrochemical processes in proton involved reactions. We find fractional electron transfer, which is inversely proportional to the distance between the proton and electrode, during the proton migration under constant potential. The electrical energy carried by the transferred charge facilitates the proton to overcome the chemical barrier in the migration pathway, which is accounting for more than half electrical energy in the proton involved reactions. Consequently, less charge transfer and energy exchange take place in the reduction process. Therefore, the proton migration in the electrochemical interface is an essential component of the electrochemical reaction in terms of electron transfer and energy conversation, and are worthy of more attention in the rational design and optimization of electrochemical systems.

Photoresponsive Porphyrin Nanotubes of Meso-tetra(4-Sulfonatophenyl)Porphyrin and Sn(IV) meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin.

Project description:Porphyrin macrocycles and their supramolecular nanoassemblies are being widely explored in energy harvesting, sensor development, catalysis, and medicine because of a good tunability of their light-induced charge separation and electron/energy transfer properties. In the present work, we prepared and studied photoresponsive porphyrin nanotubes formed by the self-assembly of meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin and Sn(IV) meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that these tubular nanostructures were hollow with open ends and their length was 0.4-0.8 μm, the inner diameter was 7-15 nm, and the outer diameter was 30-70 nm. Porphyrin tectons, H4 TPPS 4 2 - : Sn(IV)TPyP4+, self-assemble into the nanotubes in a ratio of 2:1, respectively, as determined by the elemental analysis. The photoconductivity of the porphyrin nanotubes was determined to be as high as 3.1 × 10-4 S m-1, and the dependence of the photoconductance on distance and temperature was investigated. Excitation of the Q-band region with a Q-band of SnTPyP4+ (550-552 nm) and the band at 714 nm, which is associated with J-aggregation, was responsible for about 34 % of the photoconductive activity of the H4 TPPS 4 2 - -Sn(IV)TPyP4+ porphyrin nanotubes. The sensor properties of the H4 TPPS 4 2 - - Sn(IV)TPyP4+ nanotubes in the presence of iodine vapor and salicylate anions down to millimolar range were examined in a chemiresistor sensing mode. We have shown that the porphyrin nanotubes advantageously combine the characteristics of a sensor and a transducer, thus demonstrating their great potential as efficient functional layers for sensing devices and biomimetic nanoarchitectures.

Concerted proton-electron transfer reactions in the Marcus inverted region.

Project description:Electron transfer reactions slow down when they become very thermodynamically favorable, a counterintuitive interplay of kinetics and thermodynamics termed the inverted region in Marcus theory. Here we report inverted region behavior for proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). Photochemical studies of anthracene-phenol-pyridine triads give rate constants for PCET charge recombination that are slower for the more thermodynamically favorable reactions. Photoexcitation forms an anthracene excited state that undergoes PCET to create a charge-separated state. The rate constants for return charge recombination show an inverted dependence on the driving force upon changing pyridine substituents and the solvent. Calculations using vibronically nonadiabatic PCET theory yield rate constants for simultaneous tunneling of the electron and proton that account for the results.

A2SrMIVS4 (A = Li, Na; MIV = Ge, Sn) concurrently exhibiting wide bandgaps and good nonlinear optical responses as new potential infrared nonlinear optical materials.

Project description:Exploration of new nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is of importance for infrared (IR) applications. However, it is an extremely tough challenge to design and synthesize excellent IR NLO materials with optimal performances (e.g., concurrently a large NLO response and wide bandgap). Herein, four new mixed alkali/alkaline earth metal sulfides, A2SrMIVS4 (A = Li, Na; MIV = Ge, Sn), were successfully synthesized by a motif-optimization approach using the classical AgGaS2 as a template. Note that all of them concurrently exhibit wide bandgaps (3.1-3.8 eV) and good NLO responses (0.5-0.8 × AgGaS2) with phase-matching behavior, which satisfy the balance conditions (Eg ≥ 3.0 eV and d ij ≥ 0.5 × benchmark AgGaS2) of optical performances and hence are outstanding IR NLO materials. Remarkably, both of Na2SrMIVS4 have the same structure without the structural transformation (Ge to Sn) in the reported related analogues and an interesting cation-dependent structural change is also found in Na2MIISnS4 (MII: Sr, R3c vs. Ba, I4[combining macron]2d). These results verify that the above design strategy of motif-optimization provides a feasible guide for the discovery of new IR NLO candidates and the A-AE-M-S (A = alkali metal; AE = alkaline-earth metal; M = Ga, In, Ge, Sn) system was identified as the preferred system for IR NLO materials.
