Abstract

Endoergic electron transport across vesicle bilayers from ascorbate (Asc−) in the inner waterpool to methylviologen (MV2+) in the outer aqueous solution was driven by the irradiation of pyrene derivatives embedded in the vesicle bilayers. The initial rate of MV2+ reduction is dependent on the substituent group of the pyrenyl ring; a hydrophilic functional group linked with the pyrenyl ring by a short methylene chain acts as a sensitizer for the ...
