Abstract: | Comparison of picosecond kinetic and spectroscopic data for Zn octaethylporphine and Fe(III)Cl octaethylporphine with that for Zn—Fe(III)Cl, a cofacial diporphyrin composed of a Zn porphyrin covalently bound to an Fe(III)Cl porphyrin with two chains of five atoms each, supports the assignment of a light-driven electron transfer (k > 1011s-1) within Zn—Fe(III)Cl to form [Zn+·—Fe(II)]Cl. The kinetics (k ≈ 1010s-1) and thermodynamics of the reverse electron transfer are compared to those of a similar electron transfer in bacterial photosynthesis, the reduction of an oxidized bacteriochlorophyll dimer, (BChl)2+·, by Fe(II) cytochrome c. |
