Abstract:
Strong push-pull interactions between electron donor, diaminoazobenzene (azo), and an electron acceptor, perylenediimide (PDI), entities in the newly synthesized A-D-A type triads (A=electron acceptor and D=electron donor) and the corresponding A-D dyads are shown to reveal wide-band absorption covering the entire visible spectrum. Electrochemical studies revealed the facile reduction of PDI and relatively easier oxidation of diaminoazobenzene in the dyads and triads. Charge transfer reversal using fluorescence-spectroelectrochemistry wherein the PDI fluorescence recovery upon one-electron oxidation, deterring the charge-transfer interactions, was possible to accomplish. The charge transfer state density difference and the frontier orbitals from the DFT calculations established the electron-deficient PDI to be an electron acceptor and diaminoazobenzene to be an electron donor resulting in energetically closely positioned PDIδ- -Azoδ+ -PDIδ- quadrupolar charge-transfer states in the case of triads and Azoδ+ -PDIδ- dipolar charge-transfer states in the case of dyads. Subsequent femtosecond transient absorption spectral studies unequivocally proved the occurrence of excited-state charge transfer in these dyads and triads in benzonitrile wherein the calculated forward charge transfer rate constants, kf , were limited to instrument response factor, meaning >1012 s-1 revealing the occurrence of ultrafast photo-events. The charge recombination rate constant, kr , was found to depend on the type of donor-acceptor conjugates, that is, it was possible to establish faster kr in the case of triads (∼1011 s-1 ) compared to dyads (∼1010 s-1 ). Modulating both ground and excited-state properties of PDI with the help of strong quadrupolar and dipolar charge transfer and witnessing ultrafast charge transfer events in the studied triads and dyads is borne out from the present study.
