Abstract: A new tweezers-type bis(zinc porphyrin)(1), 1,8-bis{4-[N-(N,N-zinc-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin-4'-yl)-amino carbonyl]benzyloxy}anthraquinone, with double inclusion function area can accommodate Cu+ ion or DABCO(1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane). Both of Cu+ ion and free DABCO can lead to fluorescence quenching of compound 1. The former is due to occurrence of PET after complexation and the latter is due to the occurrence of dynamic fluorescence quenching. Both DABCO and Cu+ ion can capture mutually in the solution due to the formation of their complexes. A controllable off/on fluorescence molecular switch process is proposed by addition of the two guests.
