Time-resolved stimulated emission spectroscopy was employed to probe the local environment of DASPMI (4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methyl-pyridinium iodide) in binary solvents of different viscosity and in a sol-gel matrix. DASPMI is one of the molecules of choice to probe local environments, and the dependence of its fluorescence emission decay on viscosity has been previously used for this purpose in biological samples, solid matrices as well as in solution. The results presented in this paper show that time-resolved stimulated emission of DASPMI is a suitable means to probe the viscosity of local environments. Having the advantage of a higher time resolution, stimulated emission can provide information that is complementary to that obtained from fluorescence decay measurements, making it feasible to probe systems with lower viscosity.

The synthesis of a porphyrin star-pentamer bearing a free-base porphyrin core and four zinc(ii) metalloporphyrins, which are tethered by a conformationally flexible linker about the central porphyrin’s antipody, is described. The synthetic strategy is highlighted by the use of olefin cross metathesis to link the five chromophores together in a directed fashion in high yield. Photoexcitation into the Soret absorption band of the zinc porphyrin chromophores at 425 nm leads to a substantial enhancement of central free-base porphyrin fluorescence, indicating energy transfer from the photoexcited zinc porphyrin (outer periphery) to central free-base porphyrin. Time-resolved fluorescence decay profiles required three exponential decay components for satisfactory fitting. These are attributed to emission from the central free-base porphyrin and to two different rates of energy transfer from the zinc porphyrins to the free-base porphyrin. The faster of these decay components equates to an energy-transfer rate constant of 3.7 × 109 s–1 and an efficiency of 83%, whereas the other is essentially unquenched with respect to reported values for zinc porphyrin fluorescence decay times. The relative contribution of these two components to the initial fluorescence decay is ~3:2, similar to the 5:4 ratio of cis and trans geometric isomers present in the pentamer.
