Porphyrin–Fullerene Dyad Based on Indium(III) Complex. Donor–Acceptor Complex Formation Equilibrium

详细

Formation kinetics and spectral properties of the donor–acceptor complexes of (5,10,15,20- tetra(2-methoxyphenyl)porphinato)chloroindium(III) with 2′-(pyridin-4-yl)-5′-(pyridin-2-yl)-1′-(pyridin- 2-yl)methylpyrrolidinyl[3′,4′:1,2][60]fullerene were studied. The formation of the donor–acceptor dyad [(Py₃F)InTPP(2-OCH₃)₄]⁺Cl^– occurs as a two-step reaction, including fast reversible coordination of the fullerene base molecule and slow irreversible displacement of the axial chloride ion to the second coordination sphere. Quantitative characteristics for the reaction rate and equilibrium were obtained. The reaction products were identified by IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The most important electron optical and stability parameters of the porphyrin–fullerene dyads with inner- and outer-sphere chloride ions were determined. These results are important for studies of the photophysics of porphyrin–fullerene dyads and development of photoconverters based on them.
