Excited state electron transfer from aminopyrene to graphene: a combined experimental and theoretical study

The quenching of the fluorescence of 1-aminopyrene (1-Ap) by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been investigated using spectroscopic techniques. In spite of the upward curvature in the Stern–Volmer plot, the unchanged spectral signature of the absorption of 1-Ap in the presence of rGO and the decrease in fluorescence lifetime with increasing rGO concentration point toward the dynamic nature of the quenching. Detailed analysis of steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic data has shown that the quenching arises due to the photoinduced electron transfer from 1-Ap to rGO. This is again supported by estimating the Gibb's free energy change for the ground as well as excited state electron transfer. Ab initio calculations under the density functional theory (DFT) formalism reveal that the possibility of π–π stacking is very slim in the 1-Ap–rGO system and the electron density resides completely on 1-Ap in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and on graphene in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), supporting the experimental findings of the intermolecular electron transfer between 1-Ap and rGO in the excited state.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
