Abstract

Developing artificial light-harvesting scaffolds with a cascade energy transfer process is significant for better understanding of photosynthesis. Here, we report 3+3 self-assembled PtII fluorescent macrocycles (3 a and 3 b) as light-harvesting platforms with cascade energy transfer. The PtII macrocycles aggregate into nanospheres and show emission-enhancement characteristics upon increasing water content in acetone medium. These aggregates (3aa and 3ba) serve as energy donors when mixed with the hydrophobic dye Eosin-Y (ESY). In the presence of a second dye, Nile Red (NiR), an unusual sequential two-step energy transfer takes place from the macrocycles to NiR. In this case, ESY acts as a bridge in the relay mode. Additionally, a unique strategy to control such an energy transfer process by tuning the chain length of the alkyl group attached to the periphery of the macrocycles is demonstrated. © 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH
