Herein we report the first photoreactive dendritic metalloporphyrin having noncovalently assembled electron-acceptor molecules on the exterior surface and describe a long-range photoinduced electron transfer through dendrimer architecture. Here, water-soluble dendritic zinc porphyrins with two different numbers of generations ([KO{sub 2}C]{sub 2(n+1)}LnPZn, n = 2, 4) were newly synthesized. In conclusion the long-range photoinduced electron transfer through an aryl ether dendrimer framework was demonstrated for a water-soluble dendritic zinc porphyrin bearing noncovalently assembled electron-acceptor molecules on the exterior surface. 14 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
