A Rotaxane Scaffold for the Construction of Multiporphyrinic Light-Harvesting Devices

Iwona Nierengarten

Résumé

A sophisticated photoactive molecular device has been prepared by combining recent concepts for the preparation of multifunctional nanomolecules (click chemistry on multifunctional scaffolds) with supramolecular chemistry (self-assembly to prepare rotaxanes). Specifically, a clickable [2]rotaxane scaffold incorporating a free-base porphyrin stopper has been prepared and functionalized with ten peripheral Zn(II)-porphyrin moieties. Electrochemical investigations of the final compound revealed a peculiar behavior resulting from the intramolecular coordination of the Zn(II) porphyrin moieties to 1,2,3-triazole units. Finally, steady state investigations of the compound combining Zn(II) and free-base porphyrin moieties have shown that this compound is a light-harvesting device capable of channeling the light energy from the peripheral Zn(II)-porphyrin subunits to the core by singlet–singlet energy transfer.
