A photoanode using dye-sensitized ZnO nanowire (NW) is a good candidate for low-cost, colorful, light-weight and flexible solar cell material. We have synthesized a ZnO NW anode and a ZnO nanowire–nanoparticle (NWNP) anode, in which ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) are decollated on the surface of NWs. Photo-induced electron transfer dynamics from the excited state of sensitizer dye (D149) to the conduction band of ZnO NW and ZnO NWNP was clarified using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The decay of the single excited state ([Formula: see text]) of D149 was faster in ZnO NW than that of ZnO NWNP, indicating that NW is more suitable as an efficient electron acceptor.

The third order non-linear optical response of a dicyanomethylene dihydrofuran compound (DCDHF-2V) was investigated using a Z-scan technique in picosecond and nanosecond time regimes. The results show that DCDHF-2V has excellent excited state non-linear refraction properties on both time regimes, and the non-linear refraction index is also solvent-dependent in the nanosecond regime. The excited state relaxation dynamics of DCDHF-2V were demystified via femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The TA spectra reveal that the solvent viscosities have a substantial impact on the excited state relaxation of DCDHF-2V. The exotic photophysical phenomena in DCDHF-2V reported herein can shed new light on future development of small organic non-linear optical materials with large non-linear coefficients and fast response.

Zinc Porphyrins

Optical absorption and emission, electrochemical, and photochemical properties of peripherally functionalized with flexible and rigid [Formula: see text]-extended substituents on A2 and A2B2 type zinc porphyrins is investigated. The significance of rigid [Formula: see text]-substituents over flexible ones in governing the spectral properties is unraveled. Flexible [Formula: see text]-substituents on the porphyrin ring caused appreciable spectral broadening compared to porphyrin carrying rigid [Formula: see text]-substituents. Further, supramolecular dyads are formed by coordinating phenyl imidazole functionalized fullerene, C[Formula: see text]Im. The calculated binding constants for the 1:1 complexes is in the order of 2–7 × 105 M[Formula: see text] suggesting stable complex formation. Free-energy calculations performed according to the Rehm–Weller approach suggested possibility of excited state electron transfer in these dyads. Femtosecond transient absorption studies of the dyads performed in [Formula: see text]-dichlorobenzene showed evidence of occurrence of electron transfer from the singlet-excited state that was in competition with the intersystem crossing process to populate the triplet-excited state of porphyrins.
