| Abstract | A novel dendritic $C_{60}-H_{2}P-(ZnP)_{3}$ (P=porphyrin) conjugate gives rise to the successful mimicry of the primary events in photosynthesis, that is, light harvesting, unidirectional energy transfer, charge transfer, and charge-shift reactions. Owing, however, to the flexibility of the linkers that connect the $C_{60},$ $H_{2}P,$ and ZnP units, the outcome depends strongly on the rigidity/viscosity of the environment. In an agar matrix or Triton X-100, time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopic analysis and fluorescence-lifetime measurements confirm the following sequence. Initially, light harvesting is seen by the peripheral $C_{60}-H_{2}P-$ $*(ZnP)_{3}$ conjugate. Once photoexcited, a unidirectional energy transfer funnels the singlet excited-state energy to $H_{2}P$ to form $C_{60}-*(H_{2}P)-(ZnP)_{3},$ which powers an intramolecular charge transfer that oxidizes the photoexcited $H_{2}P$ and reduces the adjacent $C_{60}$ species. In the correspondingly formed $(C_{60})^{.−}-(H_{2}P)^{.+}-(ZnP)_{3}$ conjugate, an intramolecular charge-shift reaction generates $(C_{60})^{.−}-H_{2}P-(ZnP)_{3}^{.+},$ in which the radical cation resides on one of the three ZnP moieties, and for which lifetimes of up to 460 ns are found. On the other hand, investigations in organic media (i.e., toluene, THF, and benzonitrile) reveal a short cut, that is, the peripheral ZnP unit reacts directly with $C_{60}$ to form $(C_{60})^{.−}-H_{2}P-(ZnP)_{3}^{.+}.$ Substantial configurational rearrangements— placing ZnP and $C_{60}$ in proximity to each other—are, however, necessary to ensure the required through space interactions (i.e., close approach). Consequently, the lifetime of $(C_{60})^{.−}-H_{2}P-(ZnP)_{3}^{.+}$ is as short as 100 ps in benzonitrile. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
