Transient storage of photochemically produced oxidative and reductive equivalents in soluble redox polymers

Zusammenfassung:Optical excitation and electron-transfer quenching of the metal to ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited state(s) of ((5-NH/sub 2/-phen)Ru(bpy)/sub 2/)/sup 2 +/ occur in solutions containing polystyrene polymers in which either pendant paraquat (PQ/sup 2 +/) or phenothiazine (PTZ) sites are attached. The quenching and subsequent electron-transfer steps lead to the appearance of -PQ/sup +/ and -PTZ/sup +/ on separate polymers. Since electron transfer between -PQ/sup +/ and -PTZ/sup +/ sites on separate polymers is slow, the lifetime of the photochemically produced oxidative and reductive equivalents is enhanced by approx.10/sup 3/ compared to related monomeric quenchers under similar conditions. 7 references, 1 figure.
