Abstract
C60, [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), lithium-cation-encapsulated C60 (Li+@C60), and [6,6]-diphenyl-C62-bis(butyric acid methyl ester) (bis-PCBM) were included into a phenothiazine-bridged cyclic free-base porphyrin dimer (H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO)) in a polar solvent (benzonitrile) with large association constants of 1.3 × 106, 6.4 × 105, 3.2 × 106, and 2.5 × 105 M–1, respectively. Based on the electrochemical data, the lowest energy levels of the charge-separated (CS) states for the inclusion complexes of H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO) with C60, PCBM, Li+@C60, and bis-PCBM (designated as C60⊂H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO), PCBM⊂H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO), Li+@C60⊂H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO), and bis-PCBM⊂H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO)) composed of the phenothiazine donor and fullerene acceptors were determined to be 1.30, 1.40, 0.66, and 1.51 eV, respectively. Both C60⊂H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO) and PCBM⊂H4-Ptz-CPDPy(TEO) underwent electron transfer upon photoexcitation of the porphyrin and fullerene chromophores, and the resultant photoinduced CS states comp...
