title: Asymmetric dinuclear bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complexes: broad absorption and unidirectional quantitative exciton transmission.
abstract: Asymmetric, heteroleptic dinuclear bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complexes were synthesized and demonstrated to collect a wide range of light across the UV and visible regions (340-655 nm). The complexes also conveyed excitons across their structure from one end to the other, with spectroscopic studies demonstrating quantitative and fast energy transfer.
