Abstract
The photoinduced electron-transfer reactions in a Mn-2(II.II)-R-II-NDI triad (1) ([Mn-2(bpmp)(OAc)(2)](+), bpmp = 2,6-bis[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methyiphenolate and OAc = acetate, R-II = trisbipyridine ruthenium(II), and NDI = naphthalenediimide) have been studied by time-resolved optical and EPR spectroscopy. Complex 1 is the first synthetically linked electron donor-sensitizer-acceptor triad in which a manganese complex plays the role of the donor. EPR spectroscopy was used to directly demonstrate the light induced formation of both products: the oxidized manganese dimer complex (Mn-2(II.III)) and the reduced naphthalenediimide (NDIcenter dot-) acceptor moieties, while optical spectroscopy was used to follow the kinetic...

The photoinduced electron-transfer reactions in a Mn-2(II.II)-R-II-NDI triad (1) ([Mn-2(bpmp)(OAc)(2)](+), bpmp = 2,6-bis[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methyiphenolate and OAc = acetate, R-II = trisbipyridine ruthenium(II), and NDI = naphthalenediimide) have been studied by time-resolved optical and EPR spectroscopy. Complex 1 is the first synthetically linked electron donor-sensitizer-acceptor triad in which a manganese complex plays the role of the donor. EPR spectroscopy was used to directly demonstrate the light induced formation of both products: the oxidized manganese dimer complex (Mn-2(II.III)) and the reduced naphthalenediimide (NDIcenter dot-) acceptor moieties, while optical spectroscopy was used to follow the kinetic evolution of the [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) intermediate states and the NDIcenter dot- radical in a wide temperature range. The average lifetime of the NDI- radical is ca. 600 mu s at room temperature, which is at least 2 orders of magnitude longer than that for previously reported triads based on a [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) photosensitizer. At 140 K, this intramolecular recombination was dramatically slowed, displaying a lifetime of 0.1-1 s, which is comparable to many of the naturally occurring charge-separated states in photosynthetic reaction centra. It was found that the long recombination lifetime could be explained by an unusually large reorganization energy (lambda approximate to 2.0 eV), due to a large inner reorganization of the manganese complex. This makes the recombination reaction strongly activated despite the large driving force (-Delta G degrees = 1.07 eV). Thus, the intrinsic properties of the manganese complex are favorable for creating a long-lived charge separation in the "Marcus normal region" also when the charge separated state energy is high.
