Conjugated bichromophores of porphyrins with natural compound curcumin were synthesized and studied by methods of spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectra of bichromophore consist of four bands covered almost a whole visible spectrum from 450 to 700 nm. A relatively weak interaction between curcumin and metalloporphyrin allows to combine both effects: high generation efficiency of singlet oxygen by metalloporphyrin and an anticancer treatment of curcumin.
