, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a convergent method for the synthesis of light harvesting rods. The rods are oligomers of the formula A1(Ab+1)b, wherein b is at least 1, A1through Ab+1are covalently coupled rod segments, and each rod segment A1through A1+bcomprises a compound of the formula X1(Xm+1)mwherein m is at least 1 and X1through Xm+1are covalently coupled porphyrinic macrocycles. Light harvesting arrays and solar cells containing such light harvesting rods are also described, along with intermediates useful in such methods and rods produced by such methods.

Two new cyclic hexameric arrays of porphyrins have been prepared in a rational, convergent manner. The porphyrins in each cyclic hexamer are joined by diphenylethyne linkers affording a wheel-like array with a diameter of ~35 A. One array is comprised of
