Abstract

Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) reactions in the zinc porphyrin-crown ether (ZnPCE) supramolecule, in which one crown ether moiety containing Eu3+ as electron acceptor is convalently linked to zinc porphyrin (ZnP), were studied by flash photolysis. In methanol solutions, highly efficient charge separation occurs via intramolecular ET from 3ZnP to Eu3+ encapsulated in the crown ether void k1=(3±1)×103s-1) and intramolecular ET from 3ZnP to uncomplexed Eu3+ (k2=(2.5±0.5)×103s-1). Intermolecular ET from Eu2+ escaped from the crown ether void to ZnP·+ (kr=(4.3±0.7)×108 M-1s-1) seems to be the main pathway of charge recombination.
