The mechanism of the photochemical cycloaddition reaction between N-benzoylindole, 1, and cyclopentene to give cyclobutane adducts 2 and 3 has been examined. The triplet excited state lifetime and quantum yield of intersystem crossing were determined for 1 as (2.8 ± 0.3) × 10−8 s and 0.39 ± 0.01, respectively, using the triplet counting procedure. In addition, the dependence of the quantum yield of cycloadduct formation upon the concentration of cyclopentene and upon the concentration of excited state quenchers has been determined. The results are used to propose a mechanistic model in which the triplet excited state of 1 reacts with cyclopentene to give a triplet 1,4-biradical intermediate. Following spin inversion the biradical intermediate reverts to the ground state starting materials or proceeds to the products 2 and 3; this partitioning, along with the quantum yield of intersystem crossing, gives rise to a limiting quantum yield of cycloaddition at infinite alkene concentration of 0.061. It is calculated that 84% of the biradical intermediates revert to the starting materials and 16% proceed to cycloadducts. The quantum yield data are also used to calculate two independent values of the rate constant for reaction of the triplet excited 1 with alkene; the values are (1.8 ± 0.1) × 107M−1 s−1 and (4.0 ± 0.8) × 106 M−1 s−1'. Some evidence for self quenching of the triplet excited state of 1 by ground state 1 was also observed. The quantum yield of intersystem crossing and the triplet excited state lifetime of 1 were found to vary with the solvent used; this is discussed in terms of the possible existence of a charge transfer triplet excited state. Keywords: indole, photocycloaddition, mechanism.

Photo-excitation of electron donor–acceptor systems can lead to the generation of a charge separated state (CT). Sometimes the charge recombination occurs mainly to the local triplet excited state (T1). How does the spin flip?

Photoexcitation spectra of triplet (T1← S0) zero-phonon lines and phonon sidebands in different anthracene electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex crystals (A-PMDA, A-TCNB, A-TCPA) have been analyzed between 1.3 K and 50 K at high spectral resolution. From the electron-phonon coupling strength at T = 0 K values of the charge-transfer (CT) character in the range between 6% and 10% are calculated. The differences in these values are found to be correlated with the energetic positions of the triplet state, which are explained within the framework of the Mulliken theory.

Control of electron-transfer processes is described for a number of electron donor-acceptor dyads containing porphyrins or phthalocyanines as models for the photosynthetic reaction center. The rates for intramolecular electron transfer in the dyads are controlled by the driving force and reorganization energy of electron transfer. The small reorganization energy of electron transfer reactions and large driving force of charge recombination are required to form long-lived charge-separated states. A directly linked zinc chlorin-fullerene dyad, especially, has the longest lifetime of charge-separated state at 120 s at -150 °C, which is a much longer lifetime and higher energy than those of natural photosynthetic reaction centers. On the other hand, the charge-separated states of the phthalocyanine-based donor-acceptor dyads (silicon phthalocyanine-fullerene, and zinc phthalocyanine-perylenebisimide) are short-lived since charge recombination forms the low-lying triplet excited state of the chromophore. The energy of the charge-separated state of a zinc phthalocyanine-perylenebisimide dyad is decreased by binding of metal ions to the radical anion moiety in order to be lower than the triplet excited state. This results in formation of a long-lived charge-separated state. The mechanistic viability of formation of long-lived charge-separated states is demonstrated by a variety of examples based on the Marcus theory of electron transfer.
