Abstract: | The bis-porphyrin system ZnP(2), in which two zinc porphyrins are connected by a phenanthroline linker in an oblique fashion, acts as a bifunctional receptor towards the complexation of free-base meso-5,10-bis(4'-pyridyl)-15,20-diphenylporphyrin (4'-cis DPyP). In solution, NMR spectroscopy evidenced quantitative formation of the tris-porphyrin macrocyclic assembly ZnP(2)(4'-cis DPyP), in which the two fragments are held together by two axial 4'-N(pyridyl)-Zn interactions. The remarkable stability of the edifice (an association constant of about 6x10(8) M(-1) was determined by UV/Vis absorption and emission titration experiments in toluene) is due to the almost perfect geometrical match between the two interacting units. The macrocycle was crystallized and studied by X-ray diffraction, which confirmed the excellent complementarity of the two components. Photoinduced energy transfer from the singlet excited state of the zinc porphyrin chromophores to the free-base porphyrin occurs with an efficiency of 98 % (k(en)=2x10(10) s(-1) in toluene, ambient temperature) with a mechanism consistent with a dipole-dipole process with a low orientation factor. |
