Y. Amao et al., PHOTOINDUCED HYDROGEN EVOLUTION WITH WATER-SOLUBLE BISVIOLOGEN LINKEDZINC PORPHYRIN AND HYDROGENASE, Journal of molecular catalysis. A, Chemical, 120(1-3), 1997, pp. 5-7
Water soluble bisviologen linked zinc porphyrin (ZnP(C4VAC4VB)(4)) was
synthesized and characterized. The quenching processes of the photoex
cited singlet state and triplet state of ZnP(C4VAC4VB)(4) were measure
d by using fluorescence lifetime and laser flash photolysis. The photo
excited singlet state of the zinc porphyrin was quenched by the bonded
bisviologen. Photoinduced hydrogen evolution with ZnP(C4VAC4VB)(4) an
d hydrogenase was observed under steady state irradiation.
