A summary of recent advances in the chemistry and photophysics of alternating dialkylsilylene-divinylarene copolymers is presented. The silicon moieties are considered to be insulating tetrahedral spacers in these copolymers. The substituents on silicon can readily be tuned, and the steric environment of these substituents around the silicon may dictate the conformation (or helicity) of the copolymers (the Thorpe–Ingold effect) and hence their photophysical properties. Because different chromophores can be regioregularly introduced into the polymeric chain, these copolymers have been used as models to study energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer (PET), as well as chiroptical transfer.

Photochemical and photophysical properties of self-assembling 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphinatozinc ( Znpyp 3) have been studied by steady-state and time-resolved absorption in addition to time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Self-assembling oligomers ( Znpyp 3)n( n = 3 at 0.1 mM) were synthetically generated and assigned to a zigzag chain oligomeric structure, where n is dependant on the concentration and temperature. The lifetimes of the singlet and triplet excited states of ( Znpyp 3)n depend on n and the axial ligation. The rate-constant of ( Znpyp 3)n for the intermolecular T-T annihilation process was smaller than that of monomeric porphyrins. In the photoinduced electron-transfer to fullerenes ( C 60 and C 70), it was revealed that the rate-constants and efficiencies for ( Znpyp 3)n were essentially the same as those of the monomer. In the back electron transfer, the rate-constants of oligomers were smaller than that of the monomeric porphyrin, which suggests hole-delocalization along the porphyrin chain.
