Abstract: | Inspired by structures of antenna-reaction centers in photosynthesis, the complex micelle was prepared from zinc tetra-phenyl porphyrin (ZnTPP), fullerene derivative (PyC60) and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL). The core-shell structure made the hydrophobic donor-acceptor system work in aqueous. In micellar core, coordination interaction occurred between ZnTPP and PyC60 molecules which ensured the enhanced energy migration from the donor to the acceptor. The enhanced interaction between porphyrin and fullerene was confirmed by absorption, steady-state fluorescence and transient fluorescence. The generation of singlet oxygen and superoxide radical was detected by iodide method and reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium, respectively, which confirmed that electron transfer reaction in the complex micellar core occurred. Moreover, the complex micelle exhibited effective electron transfer performance in photodebromination of 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropionic acid. The complex micellar structure endowed the donor-acceptor system with improved stability under irradiation. This strategy could be helpful for designing new electron transfer platform and artificial photosynthetic system. |
