An antenna for light harvesting is an organized multicomponent system in
which several chromophoric molecular species absorb the incident light and channel
the excitation energy to a common acceptor component. In this study, Click
chemistry has been successfully applied in the synthesis of a bay region tetraboron
dipyrrin (BODIPY) appended perylenediimide (PDI). This light-harvesting molecule
presents a large cross section for the absorption of light in the visible region.
Excitation energy is efficiently channeled to the perylenediimide core. This novel
antenna system is the first demonstration of the efficiency of energy transfer in a
BODIPY- PDI bichromophoric system and appears to be highly promising for the
design and synthesis of similar dendritic structures.
