Excitation-dependent electron exchange energy and electron transfer dynamics in a series of covalently tethered N,N-bis(4′-tert-butylbiphenyl-4-yl)aniline – [C60] fullerene dyads via varying π-conjugated spacers

Abstract: Femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption studies are reported for three newly synthesized covalently linked N,N-bis(4'-tert-butylbiphenyl-4-yl)aniline (BBA) and pyrrolidinofullerenes (C60)-based donor-π conjugated bridge-acceptor dyads (D-B-A) as functions of the bridge length (7.1, 9.5 and 11.2 Å for Dyad-1, Dyad-2 and Dyad-3), dielectric constants of the medium and pump wavelengths. In polar solvent, ultrafast fluorescence quenching (kEET ≥ 2 × 1012 s-1) of the BBA moiety upon excitati… Show more

“…The synthesis of the BBA–BODIPY dyads, Dyad-1 , Dyad-2 , and Dyad-3 , discussed in the present work is shown in Scheme , and the experimental details are given in the Supporting Information. The precursors 2 , 4 , and 5 bearing an aldehyde functional group, which are further used for the preparation of the dyads and the control compounds, BBA and Tol-BODIPY , were synthesized according to the literature procedures. , , The synthesis of the dyads was initiated by preparing dipyrromethanes, obtained by the condensation of the corresponding aldehydes with pyrrole, followed by further treatment of the dipyrromethanes with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), triethylamine, and BF 3 etherate to afford the crude compounds as black reaction mixtures. Purification of the crude compounds by column chromatography yielded the dyads as orange crystals.…”

“…To construct an efficient donor–acceptor system, several pyrrolic macrocycles, such as porphyrins, phthalocyanines, sub-phthalocyanines, , corroles, etc., and non-porphyrin-like chromophores, such as phenothiazines, , benzothiazole, triphenylamine, , etc., are used as energy/electron donors, while fullerenes, quinolines, and perylenediimides are commonly used as electron acceptors. Among these systems, porphyrins are the most attractive species due to their structural similarities with natural pigments like chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls, which behave as light-storing chromophores and electron donors in the electron donor–acceptor molecular models. ,, On the other hand, borondipyrromethene (also known as BODIPY) and its structural analogue, aza-borondipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY), stand out as the promising molecules in light harvesting antenna and electron donors/acceptors in electron transfer cascades .…”
