β¦ Synopsis
Singlet and triplet excited state data on two new core-modified expanded porphyrins and their protonated derivatives are reported. Absorption spectral studies indicate a gradual red shift of the absorption bands upon sulfur substitution into the core. The singlet lifetimes for expanded S~3~-sapphyrin and S~4~-rubyrin decrease steadily relative to STPPH and S~2~TPP owing to a higher rate of intersystem crossing. Furthermore, the protonated derivatives of S~3~-sapphyrin and S~4~-rubyrin encapsulate fluoride ions into their cavities with binding constants of 807 and 48 M^β1^respectively. However, the triplet lifetime for S~3~-sapphyrin is longer (58.80 ΞΌs) than for normal thiaporphyrins (STPPH, 37.45 ΞΌs; S~2~TPP , 20.96 ΞΌs), suggesting that it could be very well suited for photosensitizing triplet oxygen.

The rational design of molecular photonic devices relies on the ability to select components with predictable electronic structure, excited state lifetimes and redox chemistry. Electronic communication in multiporphyrin arrays depends critically on the relative energies and electron density distribu
