PHOTOELECTRON TRANSFER BETWEEN A CHARGED DERIVATIVE OF CHLOROPHYLL AND FERRICYANIDE AT THE LIPID BILAYER-WATER INTERFACE

Abstract— Flash illumination of a lipid bilayer containing a positively charge pigment: chlorophyll b cholyl hydrazone and separating two salt solutions, one of which contained ferricyanide, resulted in a photovoltage of ∼20mV, acceptor side negative. The positive charge on the pigment resulted in several novel effects. (1) The photo-emf is twice that of chlorophyll a and five times that of chlorophyll b at a given concentration. A higher surface concentration of the charged derivative is the likely cause of this effect. (2) The pheophytin of chlorophyll b cholyl hydrazone produces about one-half the photo emf of the magnesium derivative whereas pheophytin a or b produced only one-tenth the signal. This may be a reflection of the changed redox potential of the cation chlorophyll b cholyl hydrazone. (3) A voltage drop of 100 mV across the membrane, the acceptor side negatively biased, causes a 3–4-fold increase in the charge recombination rate. Biasing the acceptor side 100 mV positive has no effect. Chlorophyll a or b do not show this field effect. This asymmetric effect is explained as a movement of the more polar chlorophyll dication towards the water interface, leading to more rapid reaction with donor. Thus the kinetics of the charge reversal are a sensitive and specific probe of the polar interfacial region of the lipid bilayer-water interface.     

PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS IN PHTHALOCYANINE DISPERSIONS

Abstract— The photochemistry of phthalocyanine particles suspended in a fluid has been investigated. In alcoholic media, these particles were shown to be capable of reducing benzoquinone and oxidizing hydroquinone. In aqueous media the light induced formation of superoxide was detected. This reaction could be substantially enhanced by addition of EDTA. The role of surfactant in the photoproduction of superoxide is associated with the charge acquired by the particle as a result of the surfactant used. These results can be explained in terms of the band model for semiconductors where band bending by surfactant molecules is invoked. Such studies have relevance to photoevents occurring in photosynthesis, photocatalysis and to the types of solar energy conversion systems where a photoactive semiconductor interfaces with an aqueous medium.

PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER ACROSS LIPID BILAYERS CONTAINING MAGNESIUM OCTAETHYLPORPHYRIN

Both photoinitiated (thermodynamically downhill) and photodriven (thermodynamically uphill) electron transfer reactions across lipid bilayers are sensitized by magnesium octaethyl porphyrin (MgOEP). It is shown that the reaction mechanism is via reduction of photoexcited MgOEP at the reducing (ascorbate) side of the bilayer and the charge carrier is likely the neutral protonated MgOEP anion. The MgOEP cation (or its neutral form) does not contribute to charge passage across the bilayer even though it is readily formed at the acceptor (ferricyanide or methyl viologen) side of the membrane. Photoelectric measurements on planar bilayers show that the time constant for reduction of excited MgOEP is about 10 microseconds with 10 mM ascorbate. The membrane transport of the mediator appears to be rate limiting when the reaction is photoinitiated and the interfacial reaction appears to be limiting when the reaction is photodriven. The quantum yield of the process is about 0.1 in the latter case and about 0.02 in the former. The former yield is increased to about 0.15 in the presence of a redox mediator, duroquinone. In these systems, the magnesium porphyrin is both sensitizer and trans membrane redox mediator.     

THE USE OF LIPID HEADGROUP CHARGE TO ENHANCE PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON TRANSFER IN VESICLES: REACTIONS OF FUNCTIONALIZED PYRENE WITH A TWO COMPONENT VIOLOGEN SYSTEM

Abstract—
Kinetics of photoinduced electron transfer from a lipid functionalized pyrene, 1-(10-(6(8)-octadecylpyrenyl)decanoyl)-2-hexanoyl-.sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (OPyPC), to a two component viologen acceptor system have been measured by laser flash photolysis. N, N'-tetramethylene-2,2'-bi-pyridinium ion (DQ²⁺) and N, N' -dipropyl-4,4'-bipyridinium sulfonate (PVS), have been utilized as the primary and secondary acceptors. It has been shown that utilization of a lipid with a net negatively charged phosphatidylglycerol headgroup provides a driving force for localizing high concentrations of primary acceptor (DQ²⁺) in the region of donor. Subsequently, the charged interface can act to maintain long-term separation between the oxidized pyrene donor (OPyPC⁺) and the reduced secondary acceptor, PVS^-. When a dioleoyl lipid is used, reaction of (OPyPC⁺) with the double bond competes significantly with back reaction. However, substitution of diphytylphosphatidylglycerol for the dioleoyl analog results in a cation lifetime of about 0.5 ms and a continued very long-lived reduced species (˜4 h). Quantum yields of ˜0.15 may be obtained in this system.

THE LIPID SOLUBILITY OF PORPHYRINS MODULATES THEIR PHOTOTOXICITY IN MEMBRANE MODELS

The photosensitizing activities of hematoporphyrin, Cu-hematoporphyrin, protoporphyrin. Zn-protoporphyrin, deuteroporphyrin and uroporphyrin are studied. The relative yields of ¹O₂ are measured in buffer (pH 8.0) and compared to the yields of Type II photodamages induced on cholesterol embedded in egg lecithin liposomes. Results show that the solubilization of the sensitizer in the lipid bilayer is a prerequisite for its photosensitizing activity at the membrane level. In this context, the partition coefficient represents an important parameter.

ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS OF METAL CARBONYL ANIONS

Abstract

Metal carbonyl anions exhibit one- and two-electron reactions. The two-electron processes involving transfer of groups (hydrogen, alkyl, and halogen) between metal centers are related to the nucleophilicity. The one-electron processes are primarily outer-sphere electron transfer for the metal carbonyl anions. These reactions are observed in the presence of oxidants such as coordination complexes, pyridinium salts, metal carbonyl dimers and metal carbonyl clusters. However, in contrast to organic reactions, the metal carbonyl anions may undergo inner-sphere electron transfer. Reactions of metal carbonyl anions of low nucleophilicity with metal carbonyl cations or halides are best interpreted as inner-sphere, one-electron transfer.

OPTICALLY PURE CHALCOGENURANES: SYNTHESIS AND STEREOCHEMISTRY OF THEIR REACTIONS

Abstract

An overview of our recent studies on the asymmetric syntheses, stereochemical studies, reactions and applications of chiral chalcogenuranes is described. Chiral chalcogenuranes, including halooxachalcogenuranes and spirooxachalcogenuranes, have been synthesized by highly diastereoselective oxidation of the 2-exo-hydroxy- 10-bornyl chalcogenides. The stereochemistry of chalcogenuranes have been confirmed as with a trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry. Nucleophilic substitution reactions of these compounds provided a good method to prepare the chiral chalcogenonium (IV) compounds with excellent diastereoselectivity. Our results indicated that the reactivity of the axial bonds of chalcogenuranes plays an important role in the control of the stereochemistry of the reactions. The mechanistic and stereochemical research on the nucleophilic substitution reactions have been carried out which indicated that two kinds of pathways, dissociative and associative routes, might exist. The applications of the reactions through the asymmetric [2, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement and enantioselective protonation with optically active selenonium (IV) compounds have been investigated to give good to high selectivities.     

REACTIVITY OF EXCITED STATES OF FLAVIN AND 5-DEAZAFLAVIN IN ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS

Abstract— Quenching of the excited states of lumiflavin and 3-methyl-5-deazalumiflavin by methyl-and methoxy-substituted benzenes and naphthalenes in methanol was investigated. The observed difference in the reactivity of acid and neutral lumiflavin triplets is explained thermodynamically by applying the Michaelis cycle, as being due to the higher reduction potential of the acid triplet. In this connection the p K values of lumiflavin triplet (p K ^M= 6.5) and semiquinone (p K ^M= 11.3) have also been determined in methanol. The difference in the reactivity between the singlet and triplet states of lumiflavin is found to be greater as predicted by the difference in excitation energy. The reactivities of the excited states of flavin and 5-deazaflavin differ only slightly in contrast to the marked difference in the ground state reactivities of electron transfer reactions. This is explained in terms of the model of Rehm and Weller. The pH dependence of the electron transfer quenching of 5-deazaflavin triplet was investigated in water, yielding a triplet p K of 2.5. In contrast to the flavin, this triplet p K does not significantly differ from the p K of the 5-deazaflavin ground state. From this, different sites of protonation are deduced for the photoexcited triplet states of flavin and 5-deazaflavin.

CHLOROPHYLL PHOTOSENSITIZED ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTIONS IN LIPID BILAYER VESICLES: GENERATION OF PROTON GRADIENTS ACROSS THE BILAYER COUPLED TO QUINONE REDUCTION AND HYDROQUINONE OXIDATION

Abstract— A chlorophyll-containing small unilamellar lipid bilayer vesicle system with a sulfonated quinone molecule (MQS) in one aqueous compartment and a sulfonated hydroquinone molecule (H₂QS) in the other has been investigated, using laser flash photolysis and steady-state irradiation, as a means of storing light energy in the form of a proton gradient across the lipid bilayer. Under optimal conditions, an efficiency of 39% based on the chlorophyll triplet state quenched has been achieved for vectorial electron transfer across the bilayer; this corresponds to a quantum yield of 23% based on absorbed photons. As a consequence of irradiation by a single laser flash, 0.2 μ M of protons were taken up by quinone reduction (MQS → H₂MQS) in the outer compartment. The same number of protons were released in the inner compartment by hydroquinone oxidation (H₂QS → QS). Since the volume occupied by the vesicles was only 1/1000 of the total volume of the sample, the local concentration of protons in the inner compartment was 1000 times larger ( i.e. ≅ 200 μ M ), resulting in the generation of an appreciable proton gradient across the bilayer.
