      Zenkevich, E. I.; Borczyskowski, C. von (2009)
      Based on the extra-ligand addition effect, the principles of targeted self-assembly of nanosized multiporphyrin complexes of various types with controllable geometry and composition (up to 8 tetrapyrroles) and heterogeneous composites based on trioctylphosphine oxide-stabilized CdSe/ZnS semiconductor nanocrystals and organic compounds were developed. The dynamics and mechanisms ...

    • Photoinduced relaxation processes in self-assembled nanostructures: multiporphyrin complexes and composites "CdSе/ZnS quantum dot-porphyrin" 

      Zenkevich, E. I.; Borczyskowski, C. von (2009)
      Here, we discuss self-assembled multicomponent organic/inorganic nanostructures. Self-assembled multiporphyrin triads were formed via non-covalent interactions of meso-phenyl bridged ZnOEP chemical dimer, (ZnOEP)₂Ph, with dipyridyl substituted tetrapyrrole extra-ligand. In tetrads, the dimer (ZnOEP)₂Ph is covalently linked via 5-mesoposition to additional electron acceptors ...

      Petrov, E. P.; Cichos, F.; Zenkevich, E.; Starukhin, D.; Borczyskowski, C. von (2005)
      For CdSe nanoparticles it has been theoretically and experimentally shown that at low temperatures the photoluminescence is circularly polarized in accordance with a wurtzite structure and the corresponding allowed optical transitions. In the present Letter, we report on related investigations on CdSe/ZnS colloids in toluene solution. From time resolved photoluminescence anisotropy ...

      Azhniuk, Yu. M; Milekhin, A. G.; Gomonnai, A. V.; Lopushansky, V. V.; Yukhymchuk, V. O.; Schulze, S.; Zenkevich, E. I.; Zahn, D. R. T. (2004)
      Resonant Raman scattering spectra of glass-embedded CdS₁₋ₓSeₓ nanocrystals are measured and complemented with TEM and optical absorption as well as photoluminescence data. The selectivity of the resonant Raman process not only for the size, but also for the composition of nanocrystals within the ensemble, is directly observed in the dependence of phonon band frequency, linewidth ...

    • Identification and assignment of porphyrin-CdSe Hetero-nanoassemblies 

      Zenkevich, E. I.; Blaudeck, T.; Shulga, A. M.; Cichos, F.; Borczyskowski, C. von (2007)
      Hetero-nanoassemblies in toluene solution are formed via anchoring pyridyl substituted free base porphyrin molecules on the colloidal core-shell semiconductor nanocrystals CdSe/ZnS. The formation can be identified via quenching of semiconductor photoluminescence and followed via spectral changes of porphyrin spectral properties such as fluorescence, fluorescence decay and absorption. ...

      Sagun, E. I.; Zenkevich, E. I.; Knyukshto, V. N.; Shulga, A. M.; Starukhin, D. A.; Borczyskowski, C. von (2002)
      Steady-state and time-resolved studies indicate that for a sequence of porphyrin or chlorin chemical dimers Zn-cyclodimer → (ZnOEP)₂Ph → (ZnOEP)₂ → (ZnHTPP)₂ → (ZnOEChl)₂ with relative lowering of excited S₁- and T₁-states, the extra-ligation by pyridine (PYR) does not influence essentially on fluorescence parameters but leads to an increase of T₁-states non-radiative decay (the ...

      Steric interactions upon mono- and di-meso-phenyl substitution in octaethylporphyrins (OEP) and their chemical dimers with the phenyl spacer manifests itself in the dramatical T₁-state lifetimes shortening at 293 K (from ms down to μs in degassed toluene solutions) without any influence on spectral-kinetic parameters of S₀- and S₁-states. This effect is explained by non-planar ...

      Properties of the triplet states of octaethylporphyrins with the steric hindrance (free bases and Pd complexes) are studied by the methods of stationary and kinetic spectroscopy in the temperature range from 77 to 293 K. The mono-mesophenyl substitution results in a decrease in the quantum yield and shortening of the phosphorescence lifetime of Pd complexes by 250–3500 times in ...

    • Pathways for photoinduced electron transfer in meso-nitro-phenyl-octaethylporphyrins and their chemical dimers 

      Knyukshto, V.; Zenkevich, E.; Sagun, E.; Shulga, A.; Bachilo, S. (1999)
      The photophysical properties of meso-nitro-phenyl-octaethylporphyrins and their dimers with electron-accepting NO₂ groups in the para-, meta- and ortho-positions of the phenyl ring were studied. For the ortho-NO₂ case in deaerated toluene at 295 K, strong fluorescence quenching is caused by the intramolecular electron transfer from the porphyrin S₁ state in the absence of phenyl ...

    • Unusual dynamic relaxation of triplet-excited meso-phenyl-substituted porphyrins and their chemical dimers at room temperatures 

      Knyukshto, V.; Zenkevich, E.; Sagun, E.; Shulga, A.; Bachilo, S. (1998)
      It has been found that for mono- and di-meso-phenyl-substituted octaethylporphyrin (OEPs), etioporphyrins, corresponding Zn complexes and OEP chemical dimers (with a meso-phenyl spacer) a drastic shortening of triplet lifetimes from a ms to μs timescale in deaerated toluene solutions at 295K takes place without any changes of the spectral-kinetic parameters of the S₀ and S₁ states. ...
