Redox control of meso-zinc(II) ferrocenylporphyrin based fluorescence switches

Inorg Chem. 2007 Sep 3;46(18):7247-9. doi: 10.1021/ic0703326. Epub 2007 Aug 8.

Abstract

The efficient on/off switching of fluorescence from thienyl- and phenyl-substituted porphyrin-ferrocene dyads is achieved through redox control of excited-state electron-transfer quenching.
