The photophysical and photochemical properties of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis{α,α,α,α-o-[2′,2′-dimethyl-20′-((2″-(trimethylammonio)ethyl)phosphonatoxy)alkanamido]phenyl}porphinatozinc(II) (zinc lipidporphyrins, ZnLPs ( C 10, C 18)) have been studied in homogeneous DMSO solution and compared with those of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis{α,α,α,α-o-pivalamidophenyl}porphinatozinc(II) ( ZnTpivPP ) and tetrakis-phenylporphinatozinc(II) ( ZnTPP ). The fluorescence quantum yields of the ZnLPs were lower than that of ZnTPP , but their fluorescence lifetimes were relatively long. The electron transfer reactions from the photoexcited states of these Zn porphyrin complexes to several quinone derivatives were evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy and laser flash photolysis. The efficiences of oxidative quenching of the excited porphyrins via a dynamic process were significantly decreased by the presence of the bulky substituents on one side of the porphyrin macrocycle. This steric effect of the porphyrin side-chains was quantitatively examined by the Marcus classical treatment.

We have studied the anthracene-sensitized photolyses of both diphenyliodonium and triphenylsulphonium salts in solution using both steady-state and laser flash photolysis techniques. Photoproducts, namely, phenylated anthracenes along with iodobenzene or diphenylsulphide, respectively, are obtained from both salts with quantum efficiencies of ca. 0.1 at 375 nm. We infer the intermediacy of diphenyliodo and triphenylsulphur radicals formed by single electron transfer from the singlet-excited anthracene. We have developed a quantitative model of this chemistry, and identify the principal sources of inefficiency as back electron transfer, which occurs at nearly the theoretically limiting rate, intersystem crossing from the initially formed sensitizer–'onium salt encounter complex, and in-cage radical recombination.
