Abstract

Helical oligoproline arrays provide a structurally well-defined environment for building photochemical energy conversion assemblies. The use of solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to prepare four such arrays, consisting of 16, 17, 18, and 19 amino acid residues, is described here. Each array contains the chromophore [Rub'2m](PF6) 2 (b'= 4, 4'- diethylamidocarbonyl-2, 2'-bipyridine; m= 4-methyl-2, 2'-dipyridine-4'-carboxylic acid) and ...
