Abstract
Phospholipid-linked ZnPChlide a derivatives separated by spacer methylene groups (C n ) (PE-C n -ZnPChlide a; n = 0, 5, 11) were synthesized. When PE-C n -ZnPChlide a was assembled onto an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode modified with lipid bilayers, the assembly showed light-induced transmembrane electron transfer when illuminated at 430 nm. Interestingly, the action spectrum of the photocurrent of PE-C n -ZnPChlide a on the electrode was dependent on the length of the spacer methylene groups (C n ) and the fluidity of the lipid.
