Photoinduced electron transfer from zinc meso -tetraphenylporphyrin to a one-dimensional perylenediimide aggregate: Probing anion delocalization effects

Organic photovoltaics incorporating non-fullerene acceptors based on perylenediimide (PDI) now rival fullerene acceptor-based devices in performance, although the mechanisms of charge generation in PDI-based devices are not yet fully understood. Fullerene-based systems are proposed to undergo electron transfer directly from the photoexcited donor into a band of delocalized acceptor states, thus increasing charge generation efficiency. Similarly, anion delocalization has been shown to enhance the rate of electron transfer from a photoexcited donor to two electronically coupled PDI acceptors. Here we investigate how additional electron acceptors may further increase the rate of electron transfer from the donor zinc meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) to an aggregate of PDI acceptors (PDI[Formula: see text]. Femtosecond transient visible and mid-infrared absorption spectroscopies show that the rate of electron transfer from 1 *ZnTPP to the PDI assembly ZnTPP 2 -PDI 3 is statistically identical to that of the previously examined ZnTPP-PDI 2 . A Marcus theory analysis indicates that the parameters governing electron transfer are nearly identical for the two molecules, suggesting that the maximum electron transfer rate enhancement has been achieved in a cofacial PDI dimer because the ZnTPP directly couples to the first two PDI acceptors whereas the coupling to the third PDI is too weak.
