High Fluorescent Porphyrin-PAMAM-Fluorene Dendrimers

Molecules. 2015 May 13;20(5):8548-59. doi: 10.3390/molecules20058548.

Abstract

Two new classes of dendrimers bearing 8 and 32 fluorene donor groups have been synthesized. The first and second generations of these porphyrin-PAMAM-fluorene dendrimers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The UV-vis spectra showed that the individual properties of donor and acceptor moieties were preserved, indicating that the new dendrimers could be used as photosynthetic antennae. Furthermore, for fluorescent spectroscopy, these dendrimers showed good energy transfer.

Keywords: PAMAM; dendrimers; fluorene; porphyrin.
