The Effects of Charge Density in Clay Structure on the Photochemical Behavior of Adsorbed Porphyrins

Abstract

The effects of charge density in clay structure on the photochemical behavior of adsorbed porphyrins were examined. The self-quenching and energy transfer reaction between porphyrins on the clay surface were investigated. As charge density of clay is lower, the energy transfer efficiency tends to be higher. The suppression of self-quenching process would afford the efficient energy transfer reaction.
