cle): H NMR spectra, absorption spectra, excitation profiles, and
cyclic voltammograms of Por–TPA conjugates are shown in the
Supporting Information. The emission spectra obtained from the
study of antenna effect and the absorption spectra of the radical
cation of Por–TPA conjugates are also shown.
