The fluorescent and photoelectric conversion properties of porphyrin–perylene tetracarboxylic complex

Soluble 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)magnesium porphyrins (Mg(TBPor)), perylene tetracarboxylic derivative (N,N′-bis(1,5-dimethylhexyl)-3,4:9,10-perylenebis(dicarboximide), PDHEP), and porphyrin–perylene tetracarboxylic complex have been quickly prepared under microwave irradiation. Their fluorescent properties and photoelectric conversion properties have also been investigated. The experimental results reveal that porphyrin–perylene tetracarboxylic complex exhibits better fluorescent quantum yield and photo-electricity conversion effect than Mg(TBPor) and PDHEP, respectively.
