Meso-substituted borondipyrromethene (BODIPY)-porphyrin compounds that include free base porphyrin with two different numbers of BODIPY groups (BDP-TTP and 3BDP-TTP) were designed and synthesized to analyze intramolecular energy transfer mechanisms of meso-substituted BODIPY-porphyrin dyads and the effect of the different numbers of BODIPY groups connected to free-base porphyrin on the energy transfer mechanism. Absorption spectra of BODIPY-porphyrin conjugates showed wide absorption features in the visible region, and that is highly valuable to increase light-harvesting efficiency. Fluorescence spectra of the studied compounds proved that BODIPY emission intensity decreased upon the photoexcitation of the BODIPY core, due to the energy transfer from BODIPY unit to porphyrin. In addition, ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy measurements indicated that the energy transfer of the 3BDP-TTP compound (about 3 ps) is faster than the BDP-TTP compound (about 22 ps). Since the BODIPY core directly binds to the porphyrin unit, rapid energy transfer was seen for both compounds. Thus, the energy transfer rate increased with an increasing number of BODIPY moiety connected to free-base porphyrin.

AbstractWe introduce a novel instrument combining femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy and confocal microscopy for spatio-temporal imaging of excited-state dynamics of phase-separated polymer blends. Phenomena occurring at interfaces between different materials are crucial for optimizing the device performances, but are poorly understood due to the variety of possible electronic states and processes involved and to their complicated dynamics. Our instrument (with 200-fs temporal resolution and 300-nm spatial resolution) provides new insights into the properties of polymer blends, revealing spatially variable photo-relaxation paths and dynamics and highlighting a peculiar behaviour at the interface between the phase-separated domains.

ABSTRACTThe intramolecular photoinduced energy and electron transfer within a fullereneoligothiophene-fullerene triad with nine thiophene units (C60-9T-C60) and an oligo(p-phenylene vinylene)-fullerene dyad with four phenyl groups (OPV4-C60) is investigated with femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy with sub-10 fs and 200 fs time resolution in solvents of different polarity. Photoexcitation of the π-conjugated oligomer moiety in the triad and dyad results in an ultrafast singlet-energy transfer reaction to create the fullerene singlet-excited state with a time constant of 150-190 fs, irrespective of the polarity of the medium. In a polar solvent, intramolecular electron transfer occurs from the oligomer moiety to the C60 moiety with a time constant of 10-13 ps as a secondary reaction, subsequent to the ultrafast singlet-energy transfer. The charge-separated state has a lifetime of 50-80 ps and recombines to the ground state.
