  • Ground state charge transfer complex formation of some metalloporphyrins with aromatic solvents: Further theoretical and experimental investigations
    Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Mihir Ghosh, Koushik Majhi, Prajna Mukherjee, Somnath Chowdhury, Bikash C. Gupta, Subrata Sinha
    Abstract:

    Abstract In our earlier work (Chem. Phys. Letts. 592 (2014) 149–154), a new broad band was observed in the near infrared region (700–900 nm) of the steady state absorption spectra of some metalloporphyrins (zinc tetraphenylporphyrin, zinc Octaethylporphyrin and magnesium Octaethylporphyrin) in aromatic solvents (chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, benzonitrile, benzene and toluene) at high concentrations (~ 10 − 4  mol L − 1 ). The band was ascribed to be due to ground state charge transfer complexation between solute and solvent molecules. In the present work, density functional theory calculations are carried out to study the possibility of such ground state charge transfer complex formation between zinc tetraphenylporphyrin and four aromatic solvents viz., benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene and benzonitrile with 1:1 and 2:1 solvent-solute stoichiometries. Also, we determined the association constants for the ground state charge transfer complex formation of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin and zinc Octaethylporphyrin with two aromatic solvents (benzene and benzonitrile) by Benesi–Hildebrand method.

  • Fluorescence quenching of 9-cyanoanthracene by metallo-Octaethylporphyrins in cyanobenzene
    Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines, 2015
    Co-Authors: Mihir Ghosh, Aruna K. Mora, Sukhendu Nath, Biswajit Gopal Roy, Koushik Majhi, Subrata Sinha
    Abstract:

    Investigations are carried out on the nature of photoinduced electron transfer reactions within some metallo-Octaethylporphyrin (zinc Octaethylporphyrin and magnesium Octaethylporphyrin) donors and acceptor 9-cyanoanthracene in cyanobenzene at 300 K by steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods. Acceptor is selectively excited at 366 nm and 374 nm for steady state and time-resolved measurements, respectively, where donor metalloporphyrins possess negligible absorbance. Evidence is found for simultaneous occurrence of Forster's type singlet–singlet energy transfer process along with electron transfer. High exergonic values of Gibbs free energy change for both forward and back electron transfer reactions indicate the possibility of occurrences of these two consecutive processes in the Marcus inverted region.

  • Solvatochromic Stokes shift and determination of excited state dipole moments of free base and zinc Octaethylporphyrin
    Spectrochimica acta. Part A Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 2015
    Co-Authors: Mihir Ghosh, Subrata Sinha
    Abstract:

    Abstract Solvent effects on the photophysical properties of free base Octaethylporphyrin and zinc Octaethylporphyrin are investigated at the ambient temperature (300 K). Steady state electronic absorption and emission spectra of the porphyrins are recorded in different organic solvents of varying polarity. By using solvatochromic Stokes shift method, the dipole moments associated with the first excited singlet states of the presently used porphyrin molecules are determined for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, from Lippert–Mataga, Bakhshiev and Reichardt equations. The dipole moments associated with the singlet ground state of the porphyrin molecules are calculated theoretically by using density functional theory (DFT) method by adopting B3LYP/6–31G(d,p) level using Gaussian 03 package. Moreover, some other photophysical properties (fluorescence quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, decay rates, etc.) of the porphyrins are measured in different solvents of varying polarity.

  • Ground state charge transfer complex formation of some metalloporphyrins with aromatic solvents
    Chemical Physics Letters, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mihir Ghosh, Subrata Sinha
    Abstract:

    Abstract Porphyrin derivatives are known to have absorption spectra in the visible region (400–700 nm). In the present Letter, a new (to the best of our knowledge) broad band is reported in the NIR region (700–900 nm) of the absorption spectra of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin, zinc Octaethylporphyrin and magnesium Octaethylporphyrin in aromatic solvents at high concentrations (∼10−4 mol/L). The broad absorption band in the NIR region is ascribed to be due to ground state charge transfer complex formation between the presently used metalloporphyrins and aromatic solvents.

  • Photoinduced electron transfer in metallo-Octaethylporphyrin (donor)–2-nitrofluorene (acceptor) systems in polar acetonitrile liquid medium
    Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mihir Ghosh, Aruna K. Mora, Sukhendu Nath, Alakananda Hajra, Subrata Sinha
    Abstract:

    Abstract The possible role of photoinduced electron transfer is investigated in the fluorescence quenching of the donors metallo-Octaethylporphyrins (zinc Octaethylporphyrin and magnesium Octaethylporphyrin) in presence of the acceptor 2-nitrofluorene in polar acetonitrile liquid medium by using steady state and time-resolved techniques at the ambient temperature (300 K). The donors are selectively excited at the Q band (S 1 state), where 2-nitrofluorene has negligible absorbance. The observed bimolecular fluorescence quenching rate constants for the present donor–acceptor systems from steady state as well as time-resolved fluorescence quenching data are of the order of 10 10  L/(mol s) (less than the diffusion-controlled limit of 1.9 × 10 10  L/(mol s)). The moderately negative values of Gibbs free energy change (Δ G °) indicate that photoinduced electron transfer from the metallo-porphyrins to 2-nitrofluorene in acetonitrile solvent is possible upon photoexcitation of the former molecules. Moreover, the fluorescence quenching rates for both the donor–acceptor systems obtained from Marcus theory agree quite well with the observed values from fluorescence quenching measurements (especially time-resolved measurements).
