Abstract
Amphiphilic l-lysine dendrons containing porphyrin and fullerene bearing amino acids with the ratio of 2:0, 2:1 and 1:1 were synthesized and characterized using UV–visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Photoluminescence spectra of these dendrimers showed photoluminescence quenching due to photoinduced electron transfer from porphyrin to fullerene moieties. Transmission electron microscopic observation evidenced the self-association of these dendrimers in water. Controllable and reversible dissociation and re-aggregation of some of the water soluble dendrimers have been investigated using electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra upon the addition of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid in their aqueous dispersion. Enhanced ellipticity of dendritic porphyrin–fullerene conjugate compared to that only dendritic porphyrin indicates intramolecular porphyrin–fullerene interactions.
