The design of molecular entities capable of storing multiple photons remains a challenge in the photochemical sciences. Multiple photons permits electron transfer processes that are thermodynamically favored, and that cannot be achieved by single electron transfer processes. Literature reports have shown that 9,11,20,22-tetraaza-tetrapyridopentacene (TATPP) coordinated to ruthenium and osmium metals are good for electron transfer. Typically, the Ru or Os TATPP complexes undergo a photo-driven electron transfer reaction that depends on the energetics of the coordination complex. In order to better elucidate and understand multi-electron transfer within complexes composed of TATPP, we have studied the electron transfer dynamics of the TATPP ligand alone. The reduced state of TATPP was characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Density functional theory calculation (B3LYP) was performed based on 6-31G(d,p) basis set via Gaussian03 program. Frequency calculation was performed to identify the local minimum energy of the optimized structure. No imaginary frequencies were found in these optimized structures. We demonstrate that the ligand itself stores multiple electrons following photolysis, and that these electrons are efficient toward O2 reduction and degradation of chlorinated ethenes, which are well-known environmental pollutants.
