Fluorescence (FL) properties of a novel donor-acceptor dyad, comprised of mesitylene and 1,4-dicyano-2-methylnaphthalene (DCMN) subunits connected by an ether linkage, were elucidated. The dyad in cyclohexane exhibits FL arising from an intramolecular exciplex. In the crystalline state, the dyad does not emit light from intra- and inter-molecular exciplexes but rather displays FL that is nearly equivalent to that of 2-methoxymethyl-substituted DCMN. However, the emission spectrum of the crystalline dyad contains a shoulder in the long wavelength region, suggesting that weak intercolumnar charge-transfer interactions take place between columns consisting of the mesitylene and DCMN subunits.

Noncovalently linked electron donor-acceptor dyad consisting of zinc tetratolylporphyrin and pyridine appended ruthenium trisbipyridine comlex was prepared, via axial coordination of pyridine moiety in ruthenium trisbipyridine complex on zinc tetratolylporphyrin. For the purpose of comparison, axial coordination of pyridine-appended 2,2'-bipyridine on zinc tetratolylporphyrin was also investigated. The Kvalues were detemined based on absorption of fluorescence studies. The fluorescence of zinc teratolylporphrin was efficiently quenched upon axial coordination of pyridine moiety, prbably due to the photoinduced electron transfer from zinc tetrtolylporphyrin to ruthenium trisbipyridine, supported by free enegy estimation.
