Photoelectrochemistry of dyes in phospholipid liposome.
The systems consisting of phenosafranin or thionine dye in the presence of phospholipid liposome in aqueous solution generate photovoltage when studied in a photoelectrochemical cell. A possible mechanism of photovoltage generation suggests the photoinduced electron transfer from phospholipid to dye in liposome through charge-transfer (CT) interaction. In these dye-phospholipid systems, a good correlation between the photovoltage (Voc) determined by photoelectrochemical studies and the equilibrium constant (Kc) determined by spectrophotometric studies, confirms the mechanism.
