Effect of conformational heterogeneity on excitation energy transfer efficiency in directly meso-meso linked Zn(II) porphyrin arrays
Article Abstract:
The overall excitation energy relaxation dynamics in linear porphyrin arrays and the energy transport phenomena by attaching an energy acceptor to one end of a linear porphyrin array by using steady state and time-resolved spectroscopic measurements are investigated. It is revealed that the solvation dynamics and conformational dynamics contribute significantly to the energy relaxation processes of linear porphyrin arrays.

Photoexcitations of covalently bridged zinc porphyrin oligomers: Frenkel versus Wannier-Mott type excitons
Article Abstract:
The effect of increasing chain length on the excited-state properties of two series of covalently linked zinc porphyrin oligomers is analyzed. Flash-photolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements (FP-TRMC) depict that the excited single state (S1) of the 1,4-phenylene bridge (PB(sub n)) oligomers has a very small excess polarizability that is characteristic of a tightly bound, Frenkel type exciton.

Extremely strong near-IR two-photon absorption in conjugated porphyrin dimers: Quantitative description with three-essential-states model
Article Abstract:
A study is carried out on the two-photon absorption spectra (2PA) of a series of conjugated dimers and the corresponding monomer in the near-IR region. The results show that the absolute values of the 2PA cross section in these molecules are quantitatively described by a quantum-mechanical expression, derived for the three-level model.
