The application of low-flux sunlight begins with the synthesis of effective antenna systems. This requires the development of dye integrates with optimized dye orientation for effective energy transfer. We here report a series of peptide-linked porphyrin arrays, denoted by Boc−(Por^Zn,S)_n−OBu^t (n = 2, 4, and 8), that change their dye orientation to increase fluorescence responsively to additive reagents. The B-band absorption (AB) regions of the arrays show blue shifts (dimer, 407.6 nm; tetramer, 408.2 nm; octamer, 407.8 nm) in organic solvents as compared to that of Boc−Por^Zn,S−OBu^t (monomer, 422.6 nm) and the fluorescence yield Φ′ of the arrays decreases with increasing n, obeying the relationship Φ′ = 0.03/n^1.5; however, the arrays are tuned up in fluorescence emission by the addition of 1,2-diaminoethane (en). The addition of a sufficient amount of en increases the fluorescence of the porphyrins in monomer, dimer, tetramer, and octamer by 5, 12, 12, and >730 times, respectively, when compared with that observed in the absence of en. This also causes asymptotic red shifts in absorption (AB) bands (B-band λ_max: 410 to 429−430 nm), as well as changes in circular dichroism (CD) spectra, and makes porphyrins approach new mutual asymmetric orientations. Our results show the potentiality of the tunable dye polymers that are a posteriori optimized in dye orientation and fluorescence emission by additive reagents for the development of effective light-harvesting materials.
