Immobilization of chlorophyll derivatives into mesoporous silica and energy transfer between the chromophores in mesopores.
Chlorophyll derivatives possessing triethoxysilyl groups have been synthesized for the first time and grafted on mesoporous silica to construct an efficient energy transfer system between the chromophores.
