Electron and energy transfer in donor–acceptor systems with conjugated molecular bridges

Abstract: Electron and energy transfer reactions in covalently connected donor-bridge-acceptor assemblies are strongly dependent, not only on the donor-acceptor distance, but also on the electronic structure of the bridge. In this article we describe some well characterised systems where the bridges are pi-conjugated chromophores, and where, specifically, the interplay between bridge length and energy plays an important role for the donor-acceptor electronic coupling. For any application that relies on the transport of … Show more

“…Triplet energy transfer mediated by a number of bridges in porphyrin-based DBA systems has been studied by Albinsson et al 34,35,[70][71][72][73] In Ref. 35, a time-dependent DFT study to triplet excitation energy transfer in the ZnP-nB-H 2 P model system was also performed.…”

“…[8] Rates of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in a D-B-A molecule depend on many factors including the nature of the donor, acceptor and bridge moieties, the distance between donor and acceptor, the orientation of the bridge and the electronic coupling between the donor, acceptor and bridge. [9,10,11] ICT may occur by coherent tunneling (a superexchange mechanism) through the bridge, or by incoherent hopping via the bridge. [12] Tunneling occurs when donor and acceptor states mix with the bridge states, which are higher in energy than, and well separated from, the donor and acceptor.…”

“…The rigid π-conjugated spacer units were chosen as bridges, because a precise adjustment of the donoracceptor distance is possible, and they possess low attenuation factors [e.g. 0.1-0.57 Å -1 for oligo(phenyleneethynylene) spacer units] [12] to promote fast and efficient charge transfer towards the electron acceptor. C 60 was chosen as electron-accept- ing entity since it exhibits a remarkable electron-accepting ability and low reorganization energy due to its unique, spherical shape.…”
