Effect of zeolite properties on ground-state and triplet-triplet absorption, prompt and oxygen induced delayed fluorescence of tetraphenylporphyrin at gas/solid interface.
The ground-state and transient absorption, prompt and delayed fluorescence of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) adsorbed onto the external surface of different zeolites was monitored using diffuse-reflectance steady-state and laser flash photolysis. The delayed fluorescence (DF) of TPP detected in the presence of O2 is attributed to the energy transfer from 3TPP to 3O2 to form 1O2 and subsequent energy transfer from 1O2 to some other 3TPP within the organised molecular ensembles on the zeolite surface. The spectroscopic and kinetic parameters, namely the yield of DF (2-20% relative to prompt fluorescence), depend on the zeolite properties: the observed differences were correlated with the acid-base properties of the two zeolite series studied in this work (KA, NaA, CaA) and (NaA, NaX, NaY).
