title: Self-assembled dimethyldihydropyrene-pyridyl substituted ligands with zinc(ii) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin via axial coordination.
abstract: A series of dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP)-pyridyl photochromic derivatives has been synthesized and its photochemical behaviour characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. The corresponding noncovalently-linked electron donor-acceptor complexes have been isolated. They combine the DHP-pyridyl ligand as a donor and the zinc(ii) tetraphenylporphyrin as acceptor. Such association allowed to explore the efficiency of dative bonds to monitor the interactions between the two units.
