Two different donor–acceptor systems based on corrole–ferrocene (Cor–Fc) and corrole–anthraquinone (Cor–AQ) have been designed and synthesized. Excited state properties of these dyads indicates intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) take place in these dyads and the electron-transfer rates (kET) was found to be ∼1011s−1. The charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR) are found to be identical.

Photoinduced electron transfer has been investigated in porphyrin anthraquinone (ZnTTP-AQ) donor–acceptor dyads having either ester (ZnTTP-AQ1) or ether (ZnTTP-AQ2) linkages. Both dyads were characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. Absorption spectra show absence of any ground state interaction between the porphyrin and anthraquinone moieties. The quenched fluoresence and lifetime indicate electron transfer from the porphyrin to the anthraquinone moiety. The quenching is more pronounced in ZnTTP-AQ1 with ester linkage, suggesting efficient electronic coupling compared to the ether linkage in ZnTTP-AQ2. Computational analysis and frontier molecular orbitals confirmed the formation of charged separated state por[Formula: see text]AQ[Formula: see text]. The electron transfer rates ([Formula: see text] of these triads are found in the range 0.43 × 108 to 10.52 × 109 s[Formula: see text] and are found to be solvent polarity dependent.

AbstractAggregation-induced emission (AIE) has proven to be a viable strategy to achieve highly efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in bulk by restricting molecular motions. Here, we show that by utilizing triphenylamine (TPA) as an electronic donor that connects to an acceptor via an sp3 linker, six TPA-based AIE-active RTP luminophores were obtained. Distinct dual phosphorescence bands emitting from largely localized donor and acceptor triplet emitting states could be recorded at lowered temperatures; at room temperature, only a merged RTP band is present. Theoretical investigations reveal that the two temperature-dependent phosphorescence bands both originate from local/global minima from the lowest triplet excited state (T1). The reported molecular construct serves as an intermediary case between a fully conjugated donor-acceptor system and a donor/acceptor binary mix, which may provide important clues on the design and control of high-freedom molecular systems with complex excited-state dynamics.
