Multistep electron transfer systems based on silicon phthalocyanine, [60]fullerene and trinitrofluorenone

Abstract

The synthesis and photodynamics in the absence and in the presence of Mg²⁺ ions of a novel TNF-C₆₀-SiPc-C₆₀-TNF pentad are reported. The redox gradient approach allows to obtain a long-lived CS state of 160 ns and 200 μs in the absence and in the presence of Mg²⁺ ions, respectively.
