Photoinduced electron-transfer processes between C 60 or C 70 and zinc octaethylporphyrin ( ZnOEP ) have been studied in polar solvents with the nanosecond laser flash photolysis method, observing the transient absorption spectra in the visible and near-IR regions. By the predominant excitation of ZnOEP with 532 nm laser light the transient absorption bands of 3 ZnOEP * decayed, accompanied by the appearance of the transient absorption bands of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. By the predominant excitation of C 60 and C 70 with 610 nm laser light the decays of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were observed, accompanied by the appearance of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The electron transfer rate constants (k et ) and the quantum yields (Φ et ) of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] formation via 3 ZnOEP * and [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] have been evaluated. These values increase with the solvent polarity; in polar benzonitrile these values are higher than for other porphyrins such as zinc tetraphenylporphyrin. The back electron transfer rate constants were evaluated from the decays of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which also show a solvent polarity dependence.

Two rotaxanes containing [60]fullerene (C60) as pendants on a crown-ether necklace, to which ferrocene (Fc) as axle stoppers were added, have been synthesized. One rotaxane has an ammonium cation in the centre of the axle (C60;Fc)Rot+ and the other has a neutral axle (C60;Fc)Rot. Optimized structures, calculated using a molecular orbital method, suggest that in the ground states (C60;Fc)Rot+ has a shorter distance between C60 and Fc than that of (C60;Fc)Rot. In both rotaxanes, efficient intra-rotaxane photoinduced electron-transfer processes have been observed by the selective excitation of C60 which acts as a photosensitized electron acceptor. The rates and efficiencies of the charge-separation and charge-recombination processes were evaluated by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption measurements with changing solvent polarity. From the different kinetic parameters between (C60;Fc)Rot+ and (C60;Fc)Rot, the light-induced molecular motions of these rotaxanes in the excited states and charge-separated states were separately revealed.
