Intramolecular rotation in a porphyrin dimer controls singlet oxygen production.

The efficiency with which a conjugated porphyrin dimer photosensitizes singlet oxygen production is shown to depend on the excitation wavelength, particularly in a viscous medium. This unprecedented behavior reflects viscosity-dependent dynamics that serve to interconvert two excited singlet state c...
