We quantitatively separate the contributions of static and collision-caused photo-induced electron transfer from Ag29NC clusters to MV2+ through both transient absorption and time-resolved fluorescence experiments.

The synthesis and photophysical and photochemical characterization of four novel bacterio-chlorin-fullerene dyads with fullerene C60 coupled at various positions and by various bridges to the chlorin ring are described. All dyads undergo rapid charge separation in the sub-picosecond to picosecond time range as characterized by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopy.

AbstractIn this review, noncovalent functionalization of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is briefly reviewed. The functional materials summarized here include metalloporphyrin derivatives, biomolecules and conjugated polymers. Notably, time-resolved spectroscopic techniques such as time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption were employed to directly investigate the electron transfer and recombination processes between the functionalities and the SWCNTs. In addition, Raman spectroscopy is also useful to identify the interaction and the electron transfer direction between both the functionalities and the SWCNTs. An improved understanding of the mechanisms of these SWCNT-based nanohybrids in terms of their structural and photophysical properties can provide more insights into the design of new electronic materials.

Solvent alters differently the rate of ππ* and nπ* decay while substitution enhances or eliminates the nπ* from cytosine nonradiative deactivation.
