Photoinduced electron transfer processes between C 60/ C 70 and phthalocyanines such as tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine ( H 2 TBPc ) and its zinc derivative ( ZnTBPc ) in polar solvents have been studied by observing the transient absorption spectra in the visible and near-IR regions. Upon predominant excitation of TBPcs with a 670 nm laser pulse in polar solvents, growth of the transient absorption bands of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was observed, accompanied by a concurrent decay of the triplet states of TBPcs (3 TBPc *). Thus it is confirmed that electron transfer occurs via 3 TBPc * in polar solvents. The electron transfer rate constants and efficiencies of electron transfer via 3 ZnTBPc * are greater than those via 3 H 2 TBPc * owing to the electron ejection ability of 3 ZnTBPc *. Solvent effects on the forward and backward electron transfer processes have been evaluated.

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.
