N2 - Composite films of zinc-porphyrin-viologen (ZnP-V2+) linked compound containing six methylene group [ZnP(6)V]-gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were fabricated by combining electrostatic layer-by-layer adsorption and the Langmuir-Blodgett method. The anodic photocurrents of the ZnP(6)V-AuNP composite films are higher than those of the ZnP(6)V films. The large photocurrents in ZnP(6)V-AuNP composite films are most likely attributable to the combination of localized surface plasmon resonance due to AuNP and photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer from excited state of ZnP to V2+. The photocurrents of the ZnP(6)V-AuNP composite films increase in the presence of magnetic field. The photocurrents increase with low magnetic fields (B : 150 mT) and are almost constant under high magnetic fields (B ; 150 mT). Magnetic field effects (MFEs) were clearly observed for both ZnP(6)V-AuNP composite films and ZnP(6)V films. The MFEs can be explained by a radical pair mechanism.
