Abstract
A topic of constant investigation in recent decades has been the study of electron and/or energy transfer reactions in supramolecular systems. The energy transfer between donor-acceptor depends on the influence of the substituent in the intersystem crossing. The competition between the radiative and non-radiative processes also depends on other factors such as temperature, solvent and energy gap. In this work, we have studied the suppression of the emission of monocarboxyphenyl porphyrins after addition of rare earth ions (RE(III)). The porphyrin emission decreases with the addition of RE(III), no matter which ion is present. When Eu(III) was used, the emission of this ion was not observed either. This suppression happens due to the effect of the heavy atom and not due to the energy transfer through electronic levels between the porphyrin and the RE(III). After the addition of RE(III), the lifetime for MCTPPH2 started to decay biexponentially, indicating the formation of a new species (MCTPPH2-RE(III)) of a shorter lifetime. The presence of NO2 groups in the ortho mesoaryl positions of MCTNPPH2 and the presence of Zn(II) in Zn(MCTPP) decreased both the porphyrin lifetime and emission due to an increase in the spin-orbit coupling.
