First Example of a Heptazine-Porphyrin Dyad; Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties

We have prepared the first example of a porphyrin linked to an heptazine photoactive antenna. The two entities, linked with an alkyl spacer, demonstrate the activity of both active moieties. While they behave electrochemically independantly, on the other hand the spectroscopy shows the existence of energy transfer between both partners.

Automated summary

The study presents the synthesis of a porphyrin linked to a heptazine photoactive antenna, demonstrating the activity of both components. While they exhibit independent electrochemical behavior, spectroscopy reveals energy transfer between the two partners.
