Photoinduced electron transfer in solid C-60 donor/acceptor complexes studied by light-induced electron-spin resonance
Light-induced ESRL (LESR) spectroscopy was used to study photoinduced electron transfer (PIET) in the crystals of the C-60 donor/acceptor complexes. High-field LESR signals attributed to C-60(center dot-) (g = 1.9984 - 1.9992 and Delta H = 3 - 6 G at 100 K) were observed in, fullerene complexes with Leuco Crystal Violet (LCV.C-60.C6H5Cl, 1), N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPDA.C-60, 2), and bianthrone ((BA)(2)C-60, 3), whereas a low-field LESR signal in 2 was attributed to TMPDA(center dot+). Microwave power studies reveal two independent spins in 2 and show high relaxation rates for photoinduced spins oil C,,-. The LESR signals consist of a major long-lived "persistent" component and a minor "prompt" one, which disappears immediately after light is off. The maximal intensity of the LESR signals was observed for the excitation of 1-3 below 2 eV. This range of photon energy corresponds to direct intermolecular charge transfer from donor to C60 molecules. PIE, T is temperature activated with E-alpha = 23, 43 and 49 meV for 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Photoinduced spin susceptibility attains the maximum at 30 K in, 1 and decreases with temperature down. to 4 K indicating a possible antiferromagnetic interaction of spins, while in 2 it increases with the temperature decrease down to 4 K.
