标题: Supramolecular Electrochemical Cell of Lithium Ion Encapsulated Fullerene with Porphyrinoids
摘要: 
Extensive efforts have so far been devoted to design and synthesize electron donor-acceptor linked molecules to achieve efficient photoinduced charge separation. We have recently designed and synthesized simple electron donor-acceptor supramolecular complexes composed of lithium ion encapsulated fullerene (Li+@C60) with porphyrin and phthalocyanines and chlorin derivatives. Photoinduced electron-transfer dynamics were examined by femto- and nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The charge-separated states were detected as the transient absorption spectra, where Li+@C60 radical anion of charge-separated state has a specific absorption at 1035 nm. The lifetimes of charge-separated state were determined from the decay of the absorbance at 1035 nm. The lifetime was 230 s in the case of a supramolecule between anionic porphyrin and Li+@C60 in PhCN. The long-lived charge-separation was also confirmed by EPR spectroscopy . Photoelectrochemical measurements were performed using a standard two-electrode system consisting of a working electrode and a Pt wire gauze electrode in air-saturated MeCN containing LiI and I2. The maximum IPCE values in the case of OTE/SnO2/(ZnTPPS4–/ Li+@C60)n attained in these experiments was 77% at 450 nm . The photocurrent generation occurred via photoinduced electron transfer from ZnTPPS4– to Li+@C60 in the supramolecular nanoclusters.
