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.

Stable heterocyclic hydroperoxide can be easily prepared as a product of fast oxidation of a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine by 3O2 if the solution is exposed to sunlight. The driving force for the photoinduced electron transfer is calculated from electrochemical and spectroscopic data. The outcome of the reaction depends on the light intensity and the concentration of O2. In the solid state the heterocyclic hydroperoxide is stable; in solution it is involved in further reactions.
