MACROCYCLIC SELF-ASSEMBLING CAGE STRUCTURES COMPOSED OF BODIPY DYES FOR LIGHT COLLECTION AND CONTROLLED ENERGY TRANSFER
Summary:
The current research aims to create efficient and functional photonic cages through the use of smart topologies for connecting chromophores. By utilizing a specific binding pathway through resonance interactions, the goal is to form rigid three-dimensional superlattices with high fluorescence quantum yields. To achieve this, the study utilizes the chromophoric compounds known as BODIPYs (Boron Dippyromethene) which are symmetric, conjugated molecules that possess impressive photophysical properties and allow for synthetic flexibility through multiple substitutions. The thesis details the synthesis, characterization, and study of various BODIPYs and their self-assembly with organometallic compounds through the use of techniques such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy, UV-Visible Spectroscopy and Steady State Fluorescence Spectroscopy. The influence of solvents on the formation and relaxation kinetics of the resulting superstructures is also analyzed.
