Photophysical Properties and Photoinduced Electron Transfer Within Host-Guest Complexes of 5, 10, 15, 20 - Tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin with Water-soluble Calixarenes and Cyclodextrins

Abstract

We report the formation of host-guest complexes between water-soluble calix(n)arene-p-tetrasulfonates or 2-hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrins and the tetratosylate salt of TMPyP.
