A covalently linked magnesium porphyrin-fullerene (MgPo-C-60) dyad was synthesized and its spectral, electrochemical, molecular orbital, and photophysical properties were investigated and the results were compared to the earlier reported zinc porphyrin-fullerene (ZnPo-C-60) dyad. The ab initio B3LYP/3-21G(*) computed geometry and electronic structure of the dyad predicted that the HOMO and LUMO are mainly localized on the MgP and C-60 units, respectively. In o-dichlorobenzene containing 0.1 M (n-Bu)(4)NClO4, the synthesized dyad exhibited six one-electron reversible redox reactions within the potential window of the solvent. The oxidation and reduction potentials of the MgP and C-60 units indicate stabilization of the charge-separated state. The emission, monitored by both steady-state and time-resolved techniques, revealed efficient quenching of the singlet excited state of the MgP and C-60 units. The quenching pathway of the singlet excited MgP moiety involved energy transfer to the appended C-60 moiety, generating the singlet excited C-60 moiety, from which subsequent charge-separation occurred. The charge recombination rates, k(CR), evaluated from nanosecond transient absorption studies, were found to be 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller than the charge separation rate, k(CS). In o-dichlorobenzene, the lifetime of the radical ion-pair, MgPo center dot+-C-60(center dot-), was found to be 520 ns which is longer than that of ZnPo center dot+-C-60(center dot-) indicating better charge stabilization in MgPo-C-60. Additional prolongation of the lifetime of MgPo center dot+-C-60(center dot-) was achieved by coordinating nitrogenous axial ligands. The solvent effect in controlling the rates of forward and reverse electron transfer is also investigated.
