Photoactive supramolecules composed of electron donor and electron acceptor entities are important for light energy harvesting applications. In the present study, a Star Wars Tie Fighter Ship shaped supramolecular triad was constructed by self-assembling two zinc naphthalocyanines to a fulleropyrrolidine bearing two pyridine entities using an axial coordination approach. Optical absorption and emission studies revealed stable complex formation, and the experimentally determined free-energy change revealed the possibility of electron transfer from singlet excited zinc naphthalocyanine to the fulleropyrrolidine. The picosecond time-resolved emission technique was utilized to evaluate the kinetics of charge separation while nanosecond transient absorption spectral studies provided evidence for electron transfer quenching. The measured charge-separation rate, k CS and quantum yield, Φ CS were found to be 5.7 × 109 s −1 and 0.93 in toluene, respectively, indicating an efficient process within the supramolecular triad. The charge recombination rate (k CR ) of the supramolecular ion-pair calculated from the nanosecond transient absorption technique was found to be 3.5 × 107 s −1 yielding a lifetime for the radical ion-pair (τ RIP ) of about 30 ns. Changing the solvent from the noncoordinating toluene to the coordinating benzonitrile or THF destroyed the supramolecular structure, and under these experimental conditions, only intermolecular electron transfer from the triplet excited zinc naphthalocyanine to fulleropyrrolidine could be observed. Under these conditions, the measured electron transfer rates, k et , T inter , were found to be 2.6 × 107 M −1. s −1 in benzonitrile and 1.2 × 107 M −1. s −1 in THF, respectively.

An aryl benzyl ester dendritic axially substituted silicon (IV) phthalocyanine, a di-{3,5-di-(4-methoxycarbonyl group benzyloxy) benzyloxy) benzyloxy} axially substituted silicon (IV) phthalocyanine (DSiPc) was synthesized. Its structure was characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, IR and ESI-MS. The photophysical property of DSiPc was studied by steady and time-resolved spectroscopic methods. The steric hindrance of dendritic structure can reduced the aggregation efficiently. The photoinduced intermolecular electron transfer between this novel macromolecule and benzoquinone was studied. The results showed that the fluorescence emission of this dendritic phthalocyanine could be quenched by BQ. Therefore, this novel dendritic phthalocyanine was an effective new electron donor and transmission complex could be used as a potential artificial photosynthesis system.

Photoinduced electron-transfer processes between phthalocyanines ( H2Pc and ZnPc ) as electron donors and perylene derivatives as electron acceptors have been studied using a time-resolved, nanosecond transient absorption method in benzonitrile. The observed findings show that intermolecular electron transfer takes place via the excited triplet states of ZnPc and H2Pc , as confirmed by the characteristic transient absorption bands in the near-IR region. The visible light excitation of the mixtures of H2Pc and the perylene derivatives adsorbed onto TiO2gave a relatively high photovoltaic efficiency.
