Popis: Spectroscopic, redox, and photochemical behavior of self-assembled donor−acceptor dyads formed by axial coordination of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin, (TPP)Zn, and fulleropyrrolidine bearing either pyridine or imidazole coordinating ligands were investigated. The UV−vis, 1H NMR, and ESI-mass spectral studies, as well as computational studies, revealed supramolecular 1:1 dyad formation between the electron donor [(TPP)Zn] and the electron acceptor, fulleropyrrolidine entities. The determined formation constant K values followed the order o-pyridyl ≪ m-pyridyl ≃ p-pyridyl ≪ N-phenyl imidazole entities of the fulleropyrrolidine. The evaluated thermodynamic parameters revealed stable complexation with complex dissociation enthalpies ranging between 26 and 32 kJ mol-1. The 1H NMR studies revealed axial coordination of the pyridine or imidazole ligands to the central zinc of (TPP)Zn, while the ESI-Mass spectral studies performed in CH2Cl2 matrix revealed the expected molecular ion peak of the self-assembled dyads. ...
