Structurally defined nanoscale self-assembled multiporphyrin arrays of variable geo-metry and composition (up to eight tetrapyrrole macrocycles) have been formed via two-fold extra-ligation in solutions at 77-293 K. The array formation is based on non-covalent binding interactions of the phenyl bridged Zn octaethylporphyrin chemical dimers or trimers, ( ZnOEP )2 Ph or ( ZnOEP )3 Ph 2, with di- and tetrapyridyl substituted tetrapyrrole extra-ligands (porphyrin, pentafluorophenyl substituted porphyrin, Cu porphyrin, tetrahydroporphyrin). Using steady-state and time-resolved measurements, spectral properties as well as pathways and dynamics of non-radiative relaxation processes (energy migration, photoinduced electron transfer, exchange d-π effects, realized in nano-femtosecond time scale) have been studied in these complexes upon variation of the composition, mutual geometry, redox and photophysical properties of interacting subunits as well as on the tempera-ture and polarity of surrounding.
