Özet

A rotaxane composed of two separate Bodipy-functionalized units can be synthesized with a high yield. The resulting structure shows a very efficient through-space energy transfer (FRET), acting as an energy funnel. Thus, maximum solar output in the visible region can be collected and converted into red light, which can be transformed efficiently with a fine-tuned photovoltaic device. The versatility of the synthetic pathway demonstrates the potential utility of rotaxane-based energy harvesting supramolecules assemblies.
