金属酞菁敏化光还原硝基化合物的反应

本文研究了各种金属酞菁以及带有不同取代基的锌酞菁敏化光还原硝基化合物的反应。确定了光敏还原反应的主要产物是氨基和羟氨基化合物;羟氨基化合物与亚硝基化合物通过暗反应缩合生成偶氮N-氧化物。测定了它们的氧化还原电位和荧光量子产率。从敏化光还原反应的量子产率及荧光猝灭与硝基化合物浓度的依赖关系,计算出各种金属酞菁激发单重态与三重态的敏化效率。受激发金属酞菁将电子转移至硝基化合物是敏化光还原反应的起始过程。电子转移生成离子自由基对后,电荷分离与逆电子转移过程相互竞争。由于自旋选择规则的限制,激发三重态的敏化效率一般比激发单重态的敏化效率高。为了提高敏化光还原反应的效率,除选择三重态产率较高的敏化剂外,改变敏化剂的结构可提高敏化剂激发单重态的敏化效率,从而提高敏化光还原反应的量子产率.     

Nanostructured copper phthalocyanine-sensitized multiwall carbon nanotube films

We report a detailed study of the interaction between surface-oxidized multiwall carbon nanotubes (o-MWCNTs) and the molecular semiconductor tetrasulfonate copper phthalocyanine (TS-CuPc). Concentrated dispersions of o-MWCNT in aqueous solutions of TS-CuPc are stable toward nanotube flocculation and exhibit spontaneous nanostructuring upon rapid drying. In addition to hydrogen-bonding interactions, the compatibility between the two components is shown to result from a ground-state charge-transfer interaction with partial charge transfer from o-MWCNT to TS-CuPc molecules orientated such that the plane of the macrocycle is parallel to the nanotube surface. The electronegativity of TS-CuPc as compared to unsubsubtituted copper phthalocyanine is shown to result from the electron-withdrawing character of the sulfonate substituents, which increase the molecular ionization potential and promote cofacial molecular aggregation upon drying. Upon spin casting to form uniform thin films, the experimental evidence is consistent with an o-MWCNT scaffold decorated with phthalocyanine molecules self-assembled into extended aggregates reminiscent of 1-D linearly stacked phthalocyanine polymers. Remarkably, this self-organization occurs in a fraction of a second during the spin-coating process. To demonstrate the potential utility of this hybrid material, it is successfully incorporated into a model organic photovoltaic cell at the interface between a poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester bulk heterojunction layer and an indium-tin oxide-coated glass electrode to increase the light-harvesting capability of the device and facilitate hole extraction. The resulting enhancement in power conversion efficiency is rationalized in terms of the electronic, optical, and morphological properties of the nanostructured thin film.     

Pd(II) phthalocyanine-sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation from rubrene

Upconverted yellow singlet fluorescence from rubrene (5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnapthacene) was generated from selective excitation (lambdaex = 725 nm) of the red light absorbing triplet sensitizer palladium(II) octabutoxyphthalocyanine, PdPc(OBu)8, in vacuum degassed toluene solutions using a Nd:YAG/OPO laser system in concert with gated iCCD detection. The data are consistent with upconversion proceeding from triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) of rubrene acceptor molecules. The TTA process was confirmed by the quadratic dependence of the upconverted delayed fluorescence intensity with respect to incident light, measured by integrating the corresponding kinetic traces as a function of the incident excitation power. In vacuum degassed toluene solutions, the red-to-yellow upconversion process is stable under continuous long wavelength irradiation and is readily visualized by the naked eye even at modest laser fluence (0.6 mJ/pulse). In aerated solutions, however, selective excitation of the phthalocyanine sensitizer leads to rapid decomposition of rubrene into its corresponding endoperoxide as evidenced by UV-vis (in toluene), 1H NMR (in d6-benzene), and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, consistent with the established reactivity of rubrene with singlet dioxygen. The upconversion process in this triplet sensitizer/acceptor-annihilator combination was preliminarily investigated in solid polymer films composed of a 50:50 mixture of an ethyleneoxide/epichlorohydrin copolymer, P(EO/EP). Films that were prepared under an argon atmosphere and maintained under this inert environment successfully achieve the anticipated quadratic incident power dependence, whereas air exposure causes the film to deviate somewhat from this dependence. To the best of our knowledge, the current study represents the first example of photon upconversion using a phthalocyanine triplet sensitizer, furthering the notion that anti-Stokes light-producing sensitized TTA appears to be a general phenomenon as long as proper energy criteria are met.

Phycocyanin-sensitized photoreduction of azo dyes

Abstract— Phycocyanin can sensitize the photobleaching of azo dyes in a reaction which is analogous to one sensitized by chlorophyll. The quantum yield of the phycocyanin-sensitized photobleaching of congo red is low compared to the analogous reaction as sensitized by chlorophyll in aqueous pyridine. A kinetic mechanism for the former reaction is proposed and it was found that the manner in which phycocyanin sensitizes photoreduction of azo dyes is in several respects similar to that proposed for chlorophyll.     

Benzophenone photoreduction by heteroatom-containing donors

Nanosecond flash photolysis has been carried out on benzophenone solutions in benzene and acetonitrile in presence of oxygen- and sulfur-containing reductants such as anisole, thioanisole, dibutyl sulfide and methyl 2-octyl ether. The quantum yield of ketyl formation is compared to previous results on the quantum yields of the final benzophenone disappearance. This comparison is also related to previous data on benzophenone reduction by nitrogen-containing reductants such as amines and amides and suggests a general mechanism for benzophenone photoreduction by heteroatom-containing donors.     

The graphite oxide photoreduction mechanism

The mechanisms of dissociation of oxygen-containing moieties (-OH, -HCO, -COOH) upon the photoreduction of graphite oxide by UV light have been considered. It has been concluded that the photoreduction, which involves the detachment of the OH group and the molecular elimination of CO and CO₂, occurs in singlet excited states. The energy threshold of the photoreduction processes is determined by the position of the repulsive terms of the system.     

Bimolecular photoreduction of aromatic sulfoxides.

Photolysis of aromatic sulfoxides in the presence of alkoxides in alcoholic solvents provides a photochemical route to the corresponding sulfides. Other electron donors also give sulfide with various degrees of success. The reaction could also be carried out using carbazoles as sensitizers, and quantitative yields could be obtained using N-methylcarbazole in methanol. Evidence points toward a hydroxysulfuranyl radical as the key intermediate, and solvent effects point to heterolysis, rather than homolysis, as the step that breaks the S-O bond.     

The photoreduction of 8-substituted 5-deazaflavins and the 5-deazaflavin catalyzed photoreduction of methyl viologen

Prolonged illumination of 8-X-5-deazaflavins (X = C1, N(CH₃)₂, NH₂, p-NH₂-C₆H₄) in the presence of an electron donor leads to the formation of a 5,5′-dimer and/or a 6,7-dihydro compound. The course and rate of these photoreductions were established and discussed in terms of electronic and steric effects, exerted by the substituent at position 8 and the electron donor. Pseudo first-order kinetics were found to apply to the photoreduction of 8-X-5-deazaflavins (X = Cl, NH₂, p-NH₂-C₆H₄) while the rate of the photoreduction of 8-X-5-deazaflavin (X = N(CH₃)₂) appeared to contain an autocatalytic element. The catalytic effect of 8-X-5-deazaflavins in the photoreduction of methyl viologen by EDTA was investigated. The substituent effect on the rate of the 8-X-5-deazaflavin mediated photoreduction of methyl viologen by EDTA was found to be comparable with that on the photoreduction rate of 8-X-5-deazaflavin in the presence of EDTA with the exception of 8-X-5-deazaflavin (X = N(CH₃)₂), which showed a remarkable relative enhancement of the reactivity towards methyl viologen photoreduction.     

Posteffects of photoreduction of graphene oxide films

The dark process (posteffect) of increasing the electrical conductivity and spectral absorption in the graphene oxide (GO) film after its preliminary UV irradiation has been studied. The posteffect is due to the conformational relaxation of the structure (flattening) of GO nanosheets after the UV-induced dissociation of oxygen-containing groups. At room temperature, the relaxation time is τ ≈ 300 h and the activation energy in the range of 20–70°C is E _a ≈ 0.6 eV.     

Photoactive intermediates in the photoreduction of bichromates

It was found that labile photoactive intermediates, absorbing in the region of 650 nm, are formed during the photoreduction of bichromates in isopropyl alcohol. They were interpreted as the oxyanions of pentavalent chromium in coordination with the radical products from phototransfer of an electron. L. V.

Internal photoreduction and chain scission in polyvinylbenzophenone

Irradiation of polyvinylbenzophenone in very dilute solution in benzene results in a clear decrease of the molecular weight. The quantum yield for chain scission has been evaluated. The chain scission has been interpreted as resulting from hydrogen abstraction from a distant unit in the polymer backbone. The effect is masked in the presence of external hydrogen donors by crosslinking and internal cyclisation.     

Highly efficient photoreduction of water using energy transfer

The photochemistry of the system water-tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) dication—9-anthracenecarboxylate anion—methylviologen—ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid—platinum has been studied. Efficient triplet energy transfer from the excited ruthenium complex to the anthracene derivative leads to the formation of hydrogen in quantum yields up to 0.85.     

CIDEP and kinetics of 1,4-naphthosemiquinone radicals during photoreduction

Light modulated CIDEP experiments and T₁ measurements were performed on solutions of 1,4-naphthoquinone. Solvents were 2-propanol and 2-butanol and temperatures ?4 and ?21°C. Experiments with different concentrations of 1,4-naphthoquinone provided strong evidence for secondary polarization in 2-propanol. For 2-butanol the evidence was less convincing. The temperature dependence of the chemical decay rate constant confirmed the termination reaction as a diffusion controlled process. The experimental data for the initial polarization displayed no hyperfine dependency. They were readily accounted for the microscopic theory for the triplet mechanism considering the uncertaintly in the parameters characterizing the triplet state of 1,4-naphthoquinone. The experimental values for the radical pair polarization showed some scatter. However, their average values were found in satisfactory agreement with those calculated from the microscopic theory for bimolecular termination between 1,4-naphthosemiquinone radicals.
