Evaluation of Transient Absorption Spectra of N,N,N’,N’—Tetra—（p—methylphenyl）

Photoinduced electron transfer processes between fullerenes(C60/C70)and N,N,N’,N’-tetra-(p-methylphenyl-4,4’-diamino-1,1’-diphenyl ether(TPDAE)have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis.Quantum yields and rate constants of electron trasfer from TPDAE to excited triplet state of fullerenes(C60/C70)in benzonitrile have been evaluated by observing the trasient absorption bands in the near-IR region where the excited triplet state.radical anion of fullerenes(C60/C70)and radical cations of TPDAE appear.

Transient Absorption Spectral characterization of Electron Transfer between Fullerenes（C60／C70）and N,N,N’，N’—Tetra（p—methylphenyl）—4,4’—diamino—1,1’—diphenyl Sulphide（TPDAS）

In search of new systems with a photoexcited redox pair which exhibits a strong and stable photoinduced absorption band to understand the photophyscial and photochemical properties of electron transfer between fullernes (C60/C70) and organic donor[N,N,N’，N’-tetra(p-methylphenyl)-4,4’-diamino-1,1’-diphenyl sulphide(TPDAS)],we studied characteristic absorption spectra in the near-IR region obtained from 532nm nanosecond laser flash photolysis of a mixture of the fullerenes (C60/C70) and TPDAS in polar solvents.When fullerenes (C60/C70)were photoexcithed,the rise of the radical anion of fullerenes (C60/C70)with the rapid decay of their excited triplet states were observed in benzonitrile.It can be deduced that the electron transfer reaction does take place from TPDAS to excithed triplet state of rullerens(C60/C70).The rate consants(ket)and quantum yiekls(φet) of this process have been also evaluated.

Laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis study on chemical activity of VP-16 and podophyllotoxin

Time-resolved laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis have been used to study the chemical activity of podophyllotoxin(PPT) and etoposide(VP-16). The mechanism of photoioniza-tion of etoposide and podophyllotoxin has been confirmed and illustrated. It is demonstrated that VP-16 and PPT in aqueous solution can be photoionized at 248 nm to give hydrated electron and neutral radical resulting from rapid deprotonation of radical cation of VP-16 and PPT. The quantum yield for the photoionization of VP-16 and PPT with single-photo is 0.21 and 0.61, respectively. In addition, they can react with hydrated electron, hydrogen radical and hydroxyl radical. This will give chemists some advice on synthesizing new derivatives of podophyllotoxin in cancer treatment.
