“…ThePLquenching of MOC-16 by TTF could be contributed from host-guest electron transfer from TTF to Ru 2+ -based *MOC-16, in which the 3 MLCT excited state is interacted by redox TTF via areductive quenching procedure,while TTF itself is oxidized to TTF + C species. [50] Our previous PL titration study revealed ac irca 20-fold higher static quenching constant (K s ,3 2500 [mol L À1 ] À1 )than the dynamic constant (K c ,1561 [mol L À1 ] À1 ) for MOC-16 + TTF system, [52] suggesting that the PL quenching of MOC-16 by TTF is dominated by formation of hostguest complex, which forms the basis of synergistic coupling effect with TTF guest as photoredox mediator within the confined nanocage.I nc ontrast, TET-TTF/TCN-TTF just quench emission of MOC-16 slightly (Supporting Information, Figure S10), implying ar edox interacting role in bulk solution different from the host-guest system, which is consistent with the EPR results that electron transfer between MOC-16 and TET-TTF/TCN-TTF indeed occurs but the photocatalytic efficiencyisr educed obviously.…”
