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

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Jun 14;46(22):3944-6. doi: 10.1039/c002077j. Epub 2010 Apr 23.

Abstract

The synthesis and photodynamics in the absence and in the presence of Mg(2+) ions of a novel TNF-C(60)-SiPc-C(60)-TNF pentad are reported. The redox gradient approach allows to obtain a long-lived CS state of 160 ns and 200 micros in the absence and in the presence of Mg(2+) ions, respectively.
