Popis: Bichromophoric anthracene-porphyrin molecule namely 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-10,20-bisphenyl-15-(9-anthryl)porphyrin (AnNPP) was synthesized as a model to determine the short-range energy transfer between anthracene and porphyrin moieties. Switching of Forster to Dexter mechanism was studied in the free base (AnNPP) and protonated form of AnNPP (PAnNPP). The complete protonation of AnNPP was carried out by using hydrogen chloride (HCl) and was confirmed by UV–vis spectroscopy. The steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy shows that anthracene quantum yield is decreased in both AnNPP and PAnNPP. This was further proved by measuring fluorescence-lifetime using time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) technique. A remarkable decrease in fluorescence-lifetime of anthracene is observed for both AnNPP and PAnNPP. Quantum chemical calculations were performed for AnNPP and PAnNPP to support the short distance energy transfer with switching of excited state energy transfer (EET) mechanism. The comparison of the EET r...
