Abstract Highly electron deficient benzo[ghi]perylenetriimide (BPTI) chromophores were persistently anchored to a metal oxide electrode surface and reversible formation of their radical anions was shown in air-saturated aqueous buffer solution. Our results show a very low reaction-rate constant of BPTI.- with O-2 (k=1.92 +/- 0.05x10(-2)s(-1)). BPTI is a robust chromophore that can be used as the electron acceptor in molecule-based artificial photosynthetic devices for direct water splitting in aqueous phase.
