Intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer in Pd-porphyrin-quinone in the picosecond time range

Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) was studied in toluene solutions of the Pd-porphyrin-quinone (Pd-PQ) dyad by flash photolysis in the picosecond time range and by a luminescence method. It is found that Pd-PQ has a high rate of intercombination conversion K_isc=(7.7±0.2)·10¹⁰ sec⁻¹. Competing intramolecular PET occurs from the lower excited singlet state of the dyad with the rate constant K _et ^s =(2.7 ±0.3)·10¹⁰ sec⁻¹. Therefore, ∼74% of excited molecules from the dyad make a transition to the triplet T₁ state and 26% take part in intramolecular PET resulting in formation of radical products. The radical products relax to the ground state with the rate constant K=(7.4±0.2)·10⁹ sec⁻¹. Institute of Molecular and Atomic Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, 70, F.

Photoinduced energy transfer in blend films of hole and electron transport materials

The photoluminescence properties of the blend films consisting of the hole transport and electron transport materials, PVK and Alq₃, are studied by steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Both the relative intensity and the photoluminescence lifetime are intensively dependent of the weight ratios of PVK and Alq₃. The detailed analysis of experiment data provides clear evidence for a Förster energy transfer from excited PVK, as donor, to Alq₃, as acceptor, based on nonradiative resonant transfer mechanism, and allows the determination of Förster radius and the concentration dependent energy transfer efficiency.

Photoinduced electron transfer and spin dynamics in mixed porphyrin-quinone solutions studied by time-resolved EPR

From time-resolved direct detection cw EPR with pulsed laser excitation, the photoinduced electron transfer and spin dynamics (CIDEP) in mixed zinc-tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP)/benzo-1,4-quinone (BQ) ethanol solutions were determined as functions of temperature and BQ concentration. At lower temperatures the EPR spectra reveal that mixing of the S and T_?1 states in the charge separated radical pair gains in importance relative to the ST₀ mixing. Furthermore, at lower temperatures, the EPR spectra of the spin-correlated radical pairs of ZnTPP⁺ and BQ⁷ could also be observed. From the temperature/viscosity dependence of the electron transfer rates and of the polarization contributions from the triplet and radical pair mechanisms, deviations from a macroscopic diffusion behaviour are inferred at lower temperatures.

Conditions for the emergence of spatially asymmetric retrieval states in an attractor neural network

In this paper we show that during the retrieval process in a binary symmetric Hebb neural network, spatially localized states can be observed when the connectivity of the network is distance-dependent and a constraint on the activity of the network is imposed, which forces different levels of activity in the retrieval and learning states. This asymmetry in the activity during retrieval and learning is found to be a sufficient condition to observe spatially localized retrieval states. The result is confirmed analytically and by simulation.     

Multi-mode ground state interaction terms in C60-based electron donor-acceptor complexes

Quantum-chemical testing of donor-acceptor properties of binary molecular complexes, related to the singlet state, is suggested as QCh calculations of studied systems and their constituents by using both spin-nondependent (RHF) and spindependent (UHF) versions of the exploited computational tool. The avoided crossing of intermolecular interaction terms of neutral moleculesE _int (A ⁰ B ⁰) and molecular ionsE _int (A ⁺ B ⁻) causes a multi-mode character of the ground state term. The dependence of D-A complex properties on the type of the term, space positions of the term minimum, and the interrelation of the corresponding energies are discussed. The suggested approach has been applied to binary complexes C₆₀+X (X=TAE, TDAE, DMMA, COANP, 2Li, Mg).
