Fluorescent dimers allow the direct determination of their thermodynamic properties from kinetic analysis of the temperaturedependent two-exponential fluorescence decay of the monomer-dimer system. Monomers and dimers of tetra(carboxyphenyl)porphine in water at pH= 8 have lifetimes of 8.9 f 0.2 and

β¦ Synopsis
The excited-state properties of heterodimers of tetra( Ccarboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TPPC) and tetra(N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP) are studied by absorption and emission spectroscopy, EPR and zero-field ODMR. The excited singlet and triplet states of dimers formed by pairing HzTPPC with HzTMPyP or ZnTMPyP are localized on H?TPPC. The dimers formed by pairing H,TPPC with CuTMPyP and H,TMPyP with ZnTPPC or CuTPPC are non-fluorescent due to intramolecular electron transfer.
