Porphyrin-cored 2,2-bis(methyole)propionic acid dendrimers 2,2-bis(methylol)propionic acid (bis MPA) dendrimers have been obtained by the direct addition of bis-MPA dendrons to free-base and Zn-porphyrins.

The growth of dendrimers in the case of Zn-TPP = tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl) porphine = is shown here.

Free-base TPP in G3 Fluorescence of dendrimers in THF No difference in emission for different generations of free base.

For Zn-cored porphyrins the shoulder at 650 nm increases with increasing generation.

Zn-TPP in Gx dendrimers

We have compared dendrimer spectra with FBP and ZnP emission spectra in different solvents and solid matrices and also with IR and Raman spectra (nonresonance and normalRaman). Comparative theoretical study of all these spectra, including simple models of dendrimers (Zn-TPP) at different levels (DFT and AM1)permits us the following explanations

This vibration is observed in Raman spectra at 1609 cm -1 and is identified with 1614 cm -1 vibronic 0-1 band in fluorescence ( n 10 of a g type).

It is seen as a shoulder at 720 nm for free-base-TPP fluorescence in G3 dendrimer. It is shifted in TPP to lower frequency.

The band is induced by large FC factor. No Herzberg-Teller contribution (a g )

In Zn-TPP molecule this mode is mixed with the phenyl stretchings. Phenyl rings are out-of porphpyrin-plane. When they bear bulky dendric MPA-substitutients this strongly influences electronic cloud of the Zn-porphpyrin chromophore The Herzberg-Teller mechanism now contributes more to intensity of vibronic line.

It influence mixing of the S 1 (Q x ) and the Soret states.

Vibronic shoulder at 660 nm in ZnTPP fluorescence; its intensity increases with dendrimer generation. It is induced by Herzberg-Teller effect In Zn-P molecule this band is changed in comparison with FBP, since it includes now Zn-N vibrations (asymmetric wagging movement). This is b 2g mode which includes also C a -C m vibrations in methyne bridges.

Among other low-frequency vibronic bands there is the nu 27 = 755cm -1 , which also includes the vibrations in methyne bridges and Zn movement.

The similar Herzberg-Teller mechanism contributes to intensity of this vibronic line with growing dendric MPA-substitutients.

It gives additional emission band (two-hump shoulder) in G5 fluorescence

This is ullustrated by Zn-TPP vibrations calculated at AM1 level

Phosphorescence of free-base porphin and Zn-porphyrin.

The efficient inter-system crossing of porphyrins, which maintain a high concentration of triplet-excited molecules is used now in a wide variety of applications from photodynamic therapy to nonlinear optical devices. We have explained for the first time the low phosphorescence efficiency of porphyrins without heavy ions by DT DFT calculations.

We have obtained a slow radiative rate constant of the lowest triplet state, 3 B 2u , of free-base porphin phosphorescence (about 10 -3 s -1 ), which is in agreement with experimental estimations.

Phosphorescence of free-base porphin is determined by emission from the most active T z spin sublevel, where z-axis coinsides with the N-H...H-N bond direction. It is polarised perpendicular to the molecular plane.

Such a slow radiative decay is very unusual for a molecule wich possesses lone pairs of electrons at nitrogen atoms and a number of excited n p * states in the near UV region. It is explained by destructive interference of S-S and T-T contribution.
