چکیده
The structure of a cyclic self-assembled tetramer of an asymmetric meso-ethynylpyridyl-functionalized Zn(II)-porphyrin was established by solution-phase X-ray scattering and diffraction; femtosecond transient absorption and anisotropy spectroscopies were used to (a) observe rapid energy transfer (3.8 ps(-1)) between porphyrin subunits and (b) establish that the transfer occurs between adjacent units.

The structure of a cyclic self-assembled tetramer of an asymmetric meso-ethynylpyridyl-functionalized Zn(II)–porphyrin was established by solution-phase X-ray scattering and diffraction; femtosecond transient absorption and anisotropy spectroscopies were used to (a) observe rapid energy transfer (3.8 ps ) between porphyrin subunits and (b) establish that the transfer occurs between adjacent units.
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 کاملChirally self-assembled porphyrin nanowires assisted by L-glutamide-derived lipid for excitation energy transfer.
An L-glutamide-functionalized tetraphenylporphyrin () has been newly synthesized and its self-assembling behavior in organic solvents is reported. forms nanofibrous assemblies in a dilute solution to show specific induced circular dichroism at the absorption band around the porphyrin moiety. It enables us to observe the meso-stable and stepwise H- and J-like hierarchical aggregations. Energy tr...
متن کاملPhotodynamics of excitation energy transfer in self-assembled dyads. Evidence for back transfer.
Three self-assembled photonic dyads comprising a zinc porphyrin donor and a free base acceptor have been studied by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The driving force of the assembly is the site selective binding of an imidazole connected to a free base porphyrin. Three spacers have been incorporated between the imidazole connector and the free base porphyrin, providing three different ...
متن کاملEfficient exciton transport in layers of self-assembled porphyrin derivatives.
The photosynthetic apparatus of green sulfur bacteria, the chlorosome, is generally considered as a highly efficient natural light-harvesting system. The efficient exciton transport through chlorosomes toward the reaction centers originates from self-assembly of the bacteriochlorophyll molecules. The aim of the present work is to realize a long exciton diffusion length in an artificial light-ha...
