Is the special pair structure a good strategy for the kinetics during the last step of the energy transfer with the nearest antenna? A chemical model approach

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Mar 18;49(22):2228-30. doi: 10.1039/c3cc38740b.

Abstract

A cofacial bis(Mg(II)porphyrin)-C(6)H(4)-free base ([Mg(2)]-bridge-FB) dyad shows S(1) energy transfer in both directions and much slower rates than similar monoporphyrin systems are observed.
