β-Turned peptide-bridged diporphyrinyl compounds were prepared. Each isomeric monozinc complexes were easily available; metal-free porphyrin-peptide-zinc porphyrin and zinc porphyrin-peptide-metal-free porphyrin. In the isomers, the intramolecular energy transfer efficiencies from zinc porphyrin moiety to metal-free porphyrin moiety were the same from analysis of the steady-state fluorescence spectra, indicating that the efficiencies should be independent upon the linked peptide spacer and dependent upon the distance between the porphyrin moieties in the molecule. Singlet energy might migrate intramolecularly from zinc porphyrin moiety to metal-free one mainly by through-space mechanism.
