Photoinduced electron transfer from the electron-donating zinc tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine, ZnTBPc , to the electron-accepting dodecafluorosubphthalocyanine, SubPcF12 , in the polar benzonitrile has been investigated with nanosecond laser photolysis method. The examined ZnTBPc/SubPcF12 mixture absorbs the light in a wide section of the UV/vis/NIR spectra. Owing to the particular electronic properties of both entities, such combination seems to be perfectly suited for the study of intermolecular electron-transfer process in the polar solvents via the triplet-excited state of SubPcF12 . Upon excitation of SubPcF12 with 570 nm laser light in polar benzonitrile (εs = 25.2), the electron transfer from ZnTBPc to the triplet-excited state of SubPcF12 was confirmed by observing the transient absorption bands of ZnTBPc radical cation and SubPcF12 radical anion in the visible and near-IR region. On addition of an appropriate electron acceptor with excellent electron-accepting properties, namely dicyanoperylene-3,4,9,10-bis(dicarboximide) ( PDICN2 ), the anion radical of SubPcF12 transfers to the PDICN2 yielding the PDICN2 radical anion. These observations confirm the photosensitized electron-transfer/electron-mediating cycle of ZnTBPc/SubPcF12/PDICN2 system. In non-polar toluene (εs = 2.2), the energy-transfer process from the triplet-excited state of SubPcF12 to the low-lying triplet state of ZnTBPc was confirmed by the consecutive appearance of the triplet ZnTBPc .

Abstract Interest in the photochemistry and photophysics of pterins has increased since the participation of this family of compounds in different photobiological processes has been suggested or demonstrated in recent decades. Pterins participate in relevant biological processes, such as metabolic redox reactions, and can photoinduce the oxidation of biomolecules through both electron transfer mechanisms (Type I) and singlet oxygen production (Type II). This article describes recent findings on electron transfer-initiated reactions photoinduced by the triplet excited state of pterins and connects them in the context of photosensitized processes of biological relevance.

Distance-dependent energy transfer occurs from the Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer (MLCT) excited state to an anthracene-acrylate derivative (Acr-An) incorporated into the polymer network of a semirigid poly(ethyleneglycol)dimethacrylate monolith. Following excitation, to Acr-An triplet energy transfer occurs followed by long-range, Acr-3An—Acr-An → Acr-An—Acr-3An, energy migration. With methyl viologen dication (MV2+) added as a trap, Acr-3An + MV2+ → Acr-An+ + MV+ electron transfer results in sensitized electron transfer quenching over a distance of approximately 90 Å.
