Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mechanistic studies have been conducted for electron transfer reactions in the interfaces of aqueous molecular assemblies consisting of detergent molecules such as micelles and vesicles. A sequential electron transfer system has been constructed on the interface of a nonionic micelle by using three kinds of molecules. In this system, a long-lived and long-range charge separated state is generated because of sequential electron transfer mediated by diffusion of the dynamic charge transporter molecule. In a nonionic vesicle system, construction of electron transfer system that exhibits a long-lived charge separated state has been succeeded. The transient concentration of the charge separated state is increased twice by application of magnetic field of 200 mT. These findings would help understanding of electron transfer in the vicinity of biomembranes and development of photo and magneto functional materials constructed from low-cost detergent molecules.
