N2 - Photoinduced charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR) processes have been examined in various porphyrin-fullerene linked systems (i.e., dyads and triads) by means of time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime measurements. The investigated compounds comprise a homologous series of rigidly linked, linear donor-acceptor arrays with different donor-acceptor separations and diversified donor strength: freebase porphyrin-C60 dyad (H2P-C60), zincporphyrin-C60 dyad (ZnP-C60), ferrocene-zincporphyrin-C60 triad (Fc-ZnP-C60), ferrocene-freebase porphyrin-C60 triad (Fc-H2P-C60), and zincporphyrin-freebase porphyrin-C60 triad (ZnP-H2P-C60). Most importantly, the lowest lying charge-separated state of all the investigated systems, namely, that of ferrocenium ion (Fc+) and the C60 radical anion (C60•-) pair in the Fc-ZnP-C60 triad, has been generated with the highest quantum yields (close to unity) and reveals a lifetime as long as 16 μs. Determination of CS and CR rate constants, together with the one-electron redox potentials of the donor and acceptor moieties in different solvents, has allowed us to examine the driving force dependence (-ΔG0ET) of the electron-transfer rate constants (kET). Hereby, the semilogarithmic plots (i.e., log kET versus-ΔG0ET) lead to the evaluation of the reorganization energy (γ) and the electronic coupling matrix element (V) in light of the Marcus theory of electron-transfer reactions: γ = 0.66 eV and V = 3.9 cm-1 for ZnP-C60 dyad and γ = 1.09 eV and V = 0.019 cm-1 for Fc-ZnP-C60, Fc-H2P-C60, and ZnP-H2PC60 triads. Interestingly, the Marcus plot in Fc-ZnP-C60, Fc-H2P-C60, and ZnP-H2P-C60 has provided clear evidence for intramolecular CR located in both the normal and inverted regions of the Marcus parabola. The coefficient for the distance dependence, of V (damping factor: βCR = 0.58 Å-1) is deduced which depends primarily on the nature of the bridging molecule.
