N2 - A new artificial photosynthetic triad array, a [60]fullerene-triosmium cluster/zinc-porphyrin/boron-dipyrrin complex (1, Os3C 60/ZnP/ Bodipy), has been prepared by decarbonylation of Os 3(CO)8(CN(CH2)3Si(OEt) 3)(μ3-η2:η2: η2-C60) (6) with Me3NO/MeCN and subsequent reaction with the isocyanide ligand CNZnP/Bodipy (5) containing zinc porphyrin (ZnP) and boron dipyrrin (Bodipy) moieties. Triad 1 has been characterized by various spectroscopic methods (MS, NMR, IR, UV/Vis, photoluminescence, and transient absorption spectroscopy). The electrochemical properties of 1 in chlorobenzene (CB) have been examined by cyclic voltammetry; the general feature of the cyclic voltammogram of 1 is nine reversible one-electron redox couples, that is, the sum of those of 5 and 6. DFT has been applied to study the molecular and electronic structures of 1. On the basis of fluorescence-lifetime measurements and transient absorption spectroscopic data, 1 undergoes an efficient energy transfer from Bodipy to ZnP and a fast electron transfer from ZnP to C60; the detailed kinetics involved in both events have been elucidated. The SAM of triad 1 (1/ITO; ITO = indium-tin oxide) has been prepared by immersion of an ITO electrode in a CB solution of 1 and diaza bicyclo-octane (2:1 equiv), and characterized by UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, water contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The photoelectrochemical properties of 1/ITO have been investigated by a standard three-electrode system in the presence of an ascorbic acid sacrificial electron donor. The quantum yield of the photoelectrochemical cell has been estimated to be 29% based on the number of photons absorbed by the chromophores. Our triad 1 is unique when compared to previously reported photoinduced electron-transfer arrays, in that C60 is linked by π bonding with little perturbation of the C60 electron derealization.
