Popis: | New azobenzene-linked diporphyrin Zn complexes and free base analogues were synthesized in an attempt to develop new materials for molecular electronics. These diporphyrin Zn complexes and the corresponding diporphyrins consist of electron-deficient porphyrin Zn complex and electron-rich porphyrin Zn complex or electron-deficient porphyrin and electron-rich porphyrin. These compounds, which are a new family of diporphyrins, exhibited the photoresponsive property with a structual change in the antenna; the trans−cis photoisomerization and cis−trans thermal recovery occurred and this process was reversible. A particularly noteworthy characteristic of the diporphyrin Zn complex is that its fluorescence spectrum changes with isomerization; the fluorescence intensity of the cis-isomer produced by photoirradiation is smaller than that of the trans-isomer. This fluorescence quenching of the cis-isomer arises from the intramolecular electron transfer from electron-rich porphyrin Zn complex to electron-deficient p... |
