Popis: The photophysical properties of a multicomponent array consisting of a free-base aryl-porphyrin and a gold(III) aryl-porphyrin, assembled via a central bis(terpyridine) ruthenium(II) complex, PH2−Ru−PAu, have been studied in low-temperature glassy media by steady state and time-resolved methods. Comparison of the photophysical properties of this triad with those of the reference molecular models and of the related dyads (Ru−PH2, Ru−PAu) allows the photoinduced processes occurring in PH2−Ru−PAu to be elucidated. The photoinduced processes in glassy media in the dyads Ru−PH2 and Ru−PAu are basically similar to those occurring at room temperature where the absorbed energy is transferred with 100% efficiency to the pertinent porphyrin lowest triplet state. For Ru-3PAu the decay to the ground state is similar to the model 3PAu and displays double-exponential behavior, while in the case of Ru−3PH2 some perturbing effect of the ruthenium center in accelerating the inter-system crossing to the ground state by the...
