Bimolecular Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Static Quenching Regime: Illustration of Marcus Inversion in Micelle.
Journal of Physical Chemistry. B 2017 Februrary 24
Ultrafast bimolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) between six coumarin dyes and four viologen molecules in the stern layer of sodium dodecyl sulfate micelle have been studied using femtosecond broadband transient absorption spectroscopy and femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion spectroscopy over a broad reaction exergonicity (ΔG0 ). Emanating the formation of radical cation intermediates of viologen molecules using the transient absorption and the fast decay component of coumarins using the fluorescence up-conversion studies the forward bimolecular electron transfer rate (ket ) have been measured with high accuracy. The relationship of ket with ΔG0 found to follow a Marcus type bell-shaped dependence with an inversion at -1.10 eV. In this report, we have studied PET reaction using ultrafast spectroscopy at the quencher concentration where static quenching regime prevails. Moreover, the incompetency of Stern-Volmer experiments in studying ultrafast PET has been revealed. In contrary to previous claims, here we found that the ket is lower for lower lifetime coumarins, indicating that static, nonstationary and stationary regime of quenching have the minimal role to play to in the bimolecular electron transfer process. By far, this report is believed to be the most efficient and immaculate way of approaching Marcus inverted region problem in the case of bimolecular PET and settles the long-lasting debate of whether the same can be observed in micellar systems.
