A light-harvesting antenna 1 comprising three varieties of porphyrins, each having a different number of ethynyl groups at its meso positions, was designed and synthesized. Antenna 1 exhibits intense absorption throughout the visible region up to 700 nm. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies showed that singlet-excited-state energy transfer occurs from the peripheral porphyrins to the central porphyrin with >90% efficiency and rate constants on the order of 1010 s-1.

Rigid, star-shaped D3-symmetric arrays have been synthesized in which three porphyrin macrocyeles are attached to the 1,3, and 5 positions each of a benzene core through linkers consisting of collinear repetitive phenylethynyl units. Using the
