Key words

porphyrin array - electronic excitation - energy transfer - nanoring

Significance

Cyclic chromophore arrays mimicking chlorophylls in the natural photosynthetic system capable of absorbing sunlight and funneling photon energy are particularly attractive goals.


#

Comment

Linear porphyrin chains that effectively transfer electronic excitation energy were previously reported, and now a giant macrocycle analogue comprising of 24 porphyrin units is accomplished.
