摘要
Photophysical investigations of PPIX were described in order to determine the triplet conversion efficiency. Time resolved fluorescence and pulse train fluorescence were employed to characterize the main mechanism responsible for deactivation of the first singlet excited state (excited singlet and triplet states). Single pulse and Z-Scan analysis were employed to measure the singlet excited state absorption cross-sections. Theoretical calculations were performed in order to get some properties of PPIX in ground state, first singlet and triplet excited state. A TD-DFT result shows a great possibility of ISC associated to out-of-plane distortions in porphyrinic ring. Furthermore, the B and Q bands in the calculated spectrum are assigned to the four frontier molecular orbitals as proposed by Gouterman for free-based porphyrins. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
