Retaining individualities: the photodynamics of self-ordering porphyrin assemblies.
The retention of photochemical properties of individual chromophores is a key feature of biological light harvesting complexes. This is achieved despite extensive aggregation of the chromophores, which in synthetic chromophore assemblies often yields a change in spectral characteristics. As an alternative approach towards mimicking biological light harvesting complexes, we report the synthesis ...
متن کاملAggregation kinetics of extended porphyrin and cyanine dye assemblies.
The kinetics of J-aggregate formation has been studied for two chromophores, tetrakis-4-sulfonatophenylporphine in an acid medium and pseudoisocyanine on a polyvinylsulfonate template. The assembly processes differ both in their sensitivity to initiation protocols and in the reaction profiles they produce. The porphyrin's assembly kinetics, for example, displays an induction period unlike that ...
متن کاملA spectroscopic and thermodynamic study of porphyrin/DNA supramolecular assemblies.
Assemblies of trans-bis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)diphenylporphine ions on the surface of calf thymus DNA have been studied using several spectroscopic techniques: absorbance, circular dichroism, and resonance light scattering. The aggregation equilibrium can be treated as a two-state system-monomer and assembly-each bound to the nucleic acid template. The aggregate absorption spectrum in the Sor...
متن کاملExcitation energy migration processes in various multi-porphyrin assemblies.
The electronic interactions and excitation energy transfer (EET) processes of a variety of multi-porphyrin arrays with linear, cyclic and box architectures have been explored. Directly meso-meso linked linear arrays (Z(N)) exhibit strong excitonic coupling with an exciton coherence length of approximately 6 porphyrin units, while fused linear arrays (T(N)) exhibit extensive π-conjugation over t...
متن کاملPorphyrin Diacid-Polyelectrolyte Assemblies: Effective Photocatalysts in Solution
Developing effective and versatile photocatalytic systems is of great potential in solar energy conversion. Here we investigate the formation of supramolecular catalysts by electrostatic self-assembly in aqueous solution: Combining positively charged porphyrins with negatively charged polyelectrolytes leads to nanoscale assemblies where, next to electrostatic interactions, π–π interactions also...
