A preliminary study on a novel free base porphyrin dimer and a zinc prophyrin dimer by comparing their fluorescence properties with those of the corresponding monomers is presented. The fluorescence intensity of the free base dimer is five times higher than that of the monomer, but the fluorescence intensity of the zinc porphyrin dimer is nearly similar to that of the zinc porphyrin monomer. The emission spectra show that energy transfer occurs between the two units.

A nanometer porphyrin trimer was firstly synthesized with 1,3-dibromopropane as a bridge-linked agent and the fluorescence property and thermostability were studied. The results show that the fluorescence property and thermostability of the trimer are different from those of monoporphyrin. The effects of the molecule structure on the optical property and the thermostability were also studied in detail.

A nanometer porphyrin dimer was synthesized with fumaryl chloride as a bridge-linked reagent. The characterization was carried out with elemental analyses, 1H NMR, UV-Vis, and IR spectrometries, and then the electrochemical properties of the porphyrins were studied. The authors found that there was moderate electronic communication between the two porphyrin rings in the nanometer porphyrin dimer.
