Abstract

Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has been used to investigate electron spin polarization transfer in triplet-triplet (T-T) energy transfer between porphyrins (MOEP and MTPP; M=H₂, Zn) and fullerene (C₆₀) in toluene solution. EPR spectra of excited triplet (T₁) states of both a donor (porphyrins) and an acceptor (C₆₀) were directly observed. The induced spin polarizations of T₁ C₆₀ were found to be the same as those of T₁ porphyrins. From the analyses of time-profiles of both triplet signals, it was shown that T₁ polarizations of porphyrins are transferred to T₁ fullerene with conservation of spin polarizations via T-T energy transfer.
