Abstract
Two new dendrimeric supramolecular assemblies bearing twelve and twenty-four fluorenyl peripheral donor groups surrounding an organic core have been prepared and studied. These assemblies are composed of three zinc porphyrins possessing each four (ZnTFP) and eight fluorenyl chromophores (ZnOOFP) linked together by a central tris-pyridyl organic ligand. Due to efficient energy transfer between the fluorenyl arms, which act as antennas, and the Zn centres, which act as emitters; these assemblies behave as red emitters after selective UV or visible irradiation. The kinetic stability of these supramolecular assemblies and its impact on their photophysical properties are discussed.
