Ionic Interactions between Charged Phthalocyanine and Fullerene Derivatives

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The syntheses of positively and negatively charged zinc(II) phthalocyanine and fullerene derivatives are described.UVvis absorption and fluorescence spectra show that ground and excited state interactions between oppositely charged phthalocyanine and fullerene derivatives occur.In contrast to the more complex synthesis of covalently connected dyads of phthalocyanines and fullerenes, the ionic interaction is more easily realized by simple mixing of oppositely charged components.This ionic interaction leads to a significant increase of the photocatalytic activity of phthalocyanines in the photooxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol by molecular oxygen.
