摘要

A chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) derivative possessing the C3-vinyl group, methyl pyropheophorbide-a was conjugated to poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) through a C31–N+ bond by a well-established oxidative addition reaction using a Barluenga reagent. Because of the decreased solubility of the Chl–P4VP+ conjugate with an increase in the cationic pyridinium content, the maximum incorporation of methyl pyropheophorbide-a was limited to 14 mol% for the pyridyl units. The optical properties of the conjugates were specifically dependent on the additive chlorin π-system. Intramolecular fluorescence quenching of the photoexcited Chl moiety was observed in the individual polymeric conjugates.
