摘要
The temperature- and solvent-dependence of photoinduced electron-transfer reactions in a porphyrin-based donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) system is studied by fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopy. Two competing processes occur: sequential and direct superexchange-mediated electron transfer. In a weakly polar solvent (2-methyltetrahydrofuran), only direct electron transfer from the excited donor to the appended acceptor is observed, and this process has weak temperature dependence. In polar solvents (butyronitrile and dimethyf-formamide), both processes are observed and the sequential electron transfer shows strong temperature dependence. In systems where both electron transfer processes are observed, the long-range superexchange-mediated process is more than two times faster than the sequential process, even though the donor-acceptor distance is significantly larger in the former case.
