Two covalently linked linear electron donor-acceptor triads Fc-ZnTPP-[NMI-Fe-I-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] (1) and Fc-Ph-ZnTPP-[NMI-Fe-I-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] (2) consisting of a zinc meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) chromophore, a naphthalene monoimide diiron hydrogenase active site model [NMI-Fe-I-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)], and a ferrocene (Fc) secondary electron donor have been synthesized along with their corresponding dyad reference molecules ZnTPP-[NMI-Fe-I-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] (3), Fc-ZnTPP (4), and Fc-Ph-ZnTPP (5). Time-resolved transient absorption and emission studies in CH2Cl2 show that selective photoexcitation of ZnTPP in triads 1 and 2 results in two competing quenching pathways for (1)*ZnTPP: electron transfer from (1)*ZnTPP to [NMI-Fe-I-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] and energy transfer from (1)*ZnTPP to low-lying Fc excited states. Our studies on reference dyads 4 and 5 show that the majority of (1)*ZnTPP produced by the laser pulse decays rapidly by energy transfer to Fc in triad 1 (tau < 10 ps), while electron transfer to [NMI-Fe-I-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] dominates in triad 2, allowing the second rapid electron transfer step from Fc to ZnTPP+ to proceed. Quantum yields of the fully charge separated states Fc+-ZnTPP-[NMI-Fe-0-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] and Fc+-Ph-ZnTPP-[NMI-Fe-0-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] are 0.13 and 0.71, respectively. Charge recombination in Fc+-ZnTPP-[NMI-Fe-0-Fe-I-S-2(CO)(6)] occurs with tau(CR) = 9 +/- 1 ns and tau(CR) = 67 +/- 2 ns for Fc(+)-Ph-ZnTPP-[ NMI-Fe-0-FeI-S2(CO)6]. By incorporating a secondary electron donor, the lifetime of the reduced diironhydrogenase mimic was extended by a factor of >450. Studies of photochemical hydrogen evolution using 1 and 2 reveal that the hydrogen generation efficiency depends on the lifetime of the final charge separated state. The ability to execute a multi-electron proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism in a stepwise manner will allow us to investigate the structural and electronic requirements for each step aiding in overall system optimization. Thus, it is possible to use the same multi-step electron transfer strategy that has been employed to extend the lifetime of charge-separated states in photodriven donor-acceptor systems to extend the lifetime of the reduced states of metal complexes of potential use in catalytic proton reduction.
