Powering a Supramolecular Machine with a Photoactive Molecular Triad
Source abstract
Abstract
Machines require power supplies: To address this need at the nanoscale, a photoactive molecular triad (T) has been prepared that converts light into electrical energy (see picture). In initial tests, such a triad has been used to power the dethreading of a supramolecular machine in the form of a pseudorotaxane composed of a thread (red) and a cyclophane (blue).

59. Our observation of the reversible reductions of the C60unit in theTriadSAM is in contrast with the irreversible reduction of the C60unit observed in the CV of a Fc‐P‐C60triad SAM reported by Imahori (see Ref. [12 c]). However Kodis (see Ref [13 b]) has reported the observation of the first reduction of the C60unit at −560 mV in a solution‐phase CV of a TTF‐P‐C60based triad.
60. The molecular footprint of theTriad(1.4 nm2 molecule−1) in a SAM is larger than that (0.86 nm2 molecule−1) reported by Imahori (see Ref. [12 c]) for a Fc‐based triad SAM. The difference is attributed to the largerN‐phenyl substituent which replaces anN‐methyl substituent on the C60unit as well as a longer and more flexible spacer between the porphyrin and TTF units.
61. Imahori (see Ref. [12 c]) reported a Fc‐based triad SAM in aqueous solution where a photocurrent was observed between applied voltages of −200 and +400 mV.

65. The rate of rethreading and thus the decrease of the BHEEN component's fluorescence was recorded in a control experiment by direct reduction of the CBPQT4+ring at −400 mV in the absence of 413 nm light (see Supporting Information).

67. In a control experiment at an applied potential of −500 mV at a bare gold electrode (see Supporting Information) an average current of 6.12×10−5 A for 750 s which generated 2.86×1017electrons completely dethreads all of the initial pseudorotaxane molecules (1.11×10−6 mol) by directly reducing its CBPQT4+ring. Accordingly 9.86×1015electrons originating from the photocurrent at −100 mV dethreads 3.44 % of the initial pseudorotaxane molecules.
