A ruthenium complex, porphyrin sensitizer, fullerene acceptor molecular pentad has been synthesized and a long-lived hole-electron pair was achieved in aqueous solution by photoinduced multistep electron transfer: Upon irradiation by visible light, the excited-state of a zinc porphyrin (1 ZnP*) was quenched by fullerene (C60 ) to afford a radical ion pair, 1,3 (ZnP.+ -C60.- ). This was followed by the subsequent electron transfer from a water oxidation catalyst unit (RuII ) to ZnP.+ to give the long-lived charge-separated state, RuIII -ZnP-C60.- , with a lifetime of 14â
µs. The ZnP worked as a visible-light-harvesting antenna, while the C60 acted as an excellent electron acceptor. As a consequence, visible-light-driven water oxidation by this integrated photosynthetic model compound was achieved in the presence of sacrificial oxidant and redox mediator.
