Heteroaggregation and photoelectric conversion of porphyrins on a nanostructured TiO2 electrode

The cosensitization of a nanostructured titanium dioxide (TiO₂) electrode with tetrasulphonated porphyrins (MTsPP M=Zn H₂) is reported. Cosensitization greatly enhances the photocurrent response at the Q-band of H₂TsPP and markedly decreases the photocurrent response in the Soret band of ZnTsPP. The photoelectric behavior of the cosensitized TiO₂ electrode is attributed to the formation of heteroaggregates between H₂TsPP and ZnTsPP molecules on the positively charged TiO₂ electrode by charge-transfer interaction resulting in the decrease of the surface concentration of the H₂TsPP dimer and the presence of the low-lying charge-transfer state.     

A large entropic term due to water rearrangement is concomitant with the photoproduction of anionic free-base porphyrin triplet states in aqueous solutions

The enthalpy change, DeltaTH, and volume change, DeltaTV, associated with triplet state formation upon excitation of free-base meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, TSPP4-, its Zn derivative, ZnTSPP4-, and meso-tetra-(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin, TCPP4-, were obtained in aqueous solutions by the application of laser-induced optoacoustics spectroscopy in the presence of phosphate salts of various monovalent cations (Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+ and Cs+). A linear correlation was found between DeltaTH and DeltaTV at different phosphate concentrations for the free-base porphyrins. The intercepts (132 +/- 8 kJ mol(-1) for TSPP4- and 164 +/- 23 kJ mol(-1) for TCPP4-) of these plots correspond to the respective value of the triplet energy content obtained from phosphorescence at 77 K (140 and 149 kJ mol(-1)). This suggests that DeltaTG for the triplet state formation is independent of the medium and an enthalpy-entropy compensation is responsible for the much smaller and salt-dependent DeltaTH values obtained at room temperature. The Gibbs energy for triplet state formation of the free-base porphyrins at room temperature is thus mainly determined by the entropic term due to solvent rearrangement. The DeltaTH values for 3ZnTSPP4- at different buffer concentrations and different cations are all between 130 and 150 kJ mol(-1), close to the triplet energy obtained from phosphorescence (E(T) = 155 kJ mol(-1)). The solvent structure and the nature of the counterion have a negligible influence on the 3ZnTSPP4-formation due to the blockage of the electron pairs on the central N atoms. Thus, the small DeltaTV value should be due to intrinsic bond changes upon 3ZnTSPP4- formation and no correlation between DeltaTH and DeltaTV should be expected in this case. The enthalpy change determines the Gibbs energy for 3ZnTSPP4-formation at room temperature.

Excited-state absorption and ultrafast relaxation dynamics of porphyrin, diprotonated porphyrin, and tetraoxaporphyrin dication

The relaxation dynamics of unsubstituted porphyrin (H2P), diprotonated porphyrin (H4P2+), and tetraoxaporphyrin dication (TOxP2+) has been investigated in the femtosecond-nanosecond time domain upon photoexcitation in the Soret band with pulses of femtosecond duration. By probing with spectrally broad femtosecond pulses, we have observed transient absorption spectra at delay times up to 1.5 ns. The kinetic profiles corresponding with the band maxima due to excited-state absorption have been determined for the three species. Four components of the relaxation process are distinguished for H2P: the unresolvably short B --> Qy internal conversion is followed by the Qy --> Qx process, vibrational relaxation, and thermalization in the Qx state with time constant approximately 150 fs, 1.8 ps, and 24.9 ps, respectively. Going from H2P to TOxP2+, two processes are resolved, i.e., B --> Q internal conversion and thermal equilibration in the Q state. The B --> Q time constant has been determined to be 25 ps. The large difference with respect to the B --> Qy time constant of H2P has been related to the increased energy gap between the coupled states, 9370 cm-1 in TOxP2+ vs 6100 cm-1 in H2P. The relaxation dynamics of H4P2+ has a first ultrafast component of approximately 300 fs assigned as internal conversion between the B (or Soret) state and charge-transfer (CT) states of the H4P2+ complex with two trifluoroacetate counterions. This process is followed by internal CT --> Q conversion (time constant 9 ps) and thermalization in the Q state (time constant 22 ps).     

One- and two-photon absorptions in asymmetrically substituted free-base porphyrins: a density functional theory study

Electronic spectra and structures of a new family of free-base porphyrin (H(2)P) derivatives with 4-(diphenylamino)stilbene (DPAS) or 4,4'-bis-(diphenylamino)stilbene (BDPAS) asymmetric substituents, recently synthesized and studied by Drobizhev et al. [J. Phys. Chem. B 110, 9802 (2006)] are investigated by density functional theory (DFT) using modern density functionals and the 6-31G* basis set. The time-dependent DFT technique is applied for calculations of one- and two-photon absorption spectra, electric and magnetic dipole moments, and for prediction of electronic circular dichroism for these chiral molecules. The four-band absorption spectrum of the H(2)P molecule (Q(x), Q(y), 0-0 and 1-0 bands) is enhanced in single-bond-linked DPAS. This enhancement is explained by hyperconjugation of the almost orthogonal pi systems and by small charge-transfer admixtures. The effect is much stronger for the double-bond- and triple-bond-linked DPAS and BDPAS substituents where absorption in the Q region transforms into a two-band spectrum. These molecules with ethenyl and ethynyl bonding of the porphyrin and donor substituent show very strong two-photon absorption in the near-infrared region. DFT calculations explain this by more efficient conjugation between the H(2)P and DPAS (BDPAS) chromophores, since they are almost coplanar: "Gerade" states of the H(2)P molecule occur in the Soret region and transform into charge-transfer states with nonzero transition moments. They are responsible for the strong two-photon absorption effects. Mixing of excitations in both chromophores explains the broadening of the Soret band. Though the calculated two-photon absorption cross sections are overestimated, the qualitative trends are reproduced and help understanding the whole genesis of spectra of these asymmetrically substituted H(2)P derivatives.

Anodic electrodeposition of NiTSPP from aqueous basic media

The oxidative electrodeposition of NiTSPP (tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl) Ni porphyrin) on ITO electrode from 0.1 M NaOH aqueous solution has been studied, and UV-visible and reflection FTIR spectroscopies have been used to analyze the composition of such film. By use of UV-vis spectroscopy, small absorbance of the film and an almost nulling effect on the Soret band of the porphyrin along the Ni(III)/Ni(II) redox process were observed. The reflection FTIR spectroscopy detected the presence of Ni-OH groups in the reduced film and as well the state of the porphyrin molecules as radical cation. Moreover, the porphyrin has been quantified by means of the area of the vibration bands assigned to the sulfonate groups by using as reference a Langmuir-Blodgett film containing a known surface concentration of NiTSPP. These results lead us propose the formation of a conductor salt by electrocrystallization, with stoichiometries TSPP/Ni(II)(OH)2 and TSPP/Ni(III)OOH, for its reduced and oxidized forms, respectively. In these two forms, the porphyrin rings will be present as radical cation, which may be stabilized through its dimerization or polymerization.
