A series of three novel ZnPc-C conjugates (Pc = phthalocyanine) 1a-c bearing different spacers (single, double, and triple bond) between the two electroactive moieties was synthesized and compared to that of ZnPc-C conjugate 2, in which the two electroactive moieties are linked directly. The synthetic strategy - towards the preparation of 1a-c - involved palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions over a monoiodophthalocyanine precursor 4 to introduce the corresponding spacer, and subsequent dipolar cycloaddition reaction to C . Detailed photophysical investigations of 1a-c and 2 prompted an intramolecular electron transfer that evolves from the photoexcited ZnPc to the electron-accepting C . In particular, with the help of femtosecond laser photolysis charge separation was indeed confirmed as the major deactivation channel. Complementary time-dependent density functional calculations supported the spectral assignment, namely, the spectral identity of the ZnPc radical cation and the C radical anion as seen in the differential absorption spectra. The lifetimes of the correspondingly formed radical ion-pair states depend markedly on the solvent polarity: they increase as polarity decreases. Similarly, although to a lesser extent, the nature of the linker impacts the lifetime of the radical ion-pair states. In general, the lifetimes of these states tend to be shortest in the system that lacks any spacer at all (2), whereas the longest lifetimes were found in the system that carries the triple-bond spacer (1a). © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
