Synthesis and photochemical characterization of a zinc phthalocyanine-zinc porphyrin heterotrimer and heterononamer

The synthesis of two phthalocyanine-porphyrin covalently linked heteromolecules are described. Intramolecular energy transfer is investigated and quantified in terms of the quantum yield of energy transfer and found to be highly effective in both molecules. The photophysical properties of both molec...

Description
Summary:The synthesis of two phthalocyanine-porphyrin covalently linked heteromolecules are described. Intramolecular energy transfer is investigated and quantified in terms of the quantum yield of energy transfer and found to be highly effective in both molecules. The photophysical properties of both molecules are modified greatly by the presence of the porphyrin moieties on the phthalocyanine core.
