Photophysical properties of corrphycenes.
The photophysical properties of the Zn salt of octaethylcorrphycene (compound 1) and the doubly protonated octaethylcorrphycene (compound 2) were determined in benzene solutions. Fluorescence spectra and fluorescence quantum yields of phiF (1) = 0.03+/-0.02 and PF (2) = 0.06+/-0.02 were measured. The triplet-triplet absorption spectra were obtained by means of flash-photolysis experiments. The triplet quantum yield values phiT (1) = 0.79+/-0.08 and phiT (2) = 0.82+/-0.08 were obtained by using laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopy. The quantum yield of singlet molecular oxygen generation in air-saturated solutions, phidelta (1) = 0.55+/-0.07 and phidelta (2) = 0.38+/-0.05, were also measured using time resolved NIR luminescence.
