Abstract: The photoinduced electron transfer from the excited state of cyclometallated platinum (Ⅱ) complex PtL1L22+ (L1=4 methoxyphenyl 6 phenyl 2,2’ bibyridine,L2=pyridine) incorporated into Nafion membranes to propylviologen sulfonate (PVS0) in the surrounding solution has been examined by photochemical measurements.N,N’ tetramethylene 2,2’ bipyridinium (DQ2+) entrapped in the Nafion membranes is used as an electron relay.Luminescence quenching studies indicate that the quenching reaction of PtL1L22+ with DQ2+ is both of dynamic and static nature.PtL1L23+ generated from the luminescence quenching remains in the Nafion matrix,while DQ migrates by an electron hopping mechanism to the Nafion water interface,where transfers an electron to PVS0 to produce PVS.The negative charged PVS is repelled into the bulk solution by the anionic Nafion surface.The isolation of the photoinduced oxidized species PtL1L23+ in Nafion from the ultimate reduced species PVS in solution prevents them from undergoing back electron transfer,and a long lived (up to a few days) charge separation state is achieved.

Key words: Nafion, cyclometallated platinum (Ⅱ) complex, viologen, photoinduced electron transfer, long lived charge separation
