Charge stabilization in a closely spaced ferrocene-boron dipyrrin-fullerene triad

Abstract

New molecular triads composed of closely spaced ferrocene-boron dipyrrin-fullerene, 1 and triphenylamine-boron dipyrrin-fullerene, 2 are synthesized, and photoinduced electron transfer leading to charge stabilization is demonstrated using a femtosecond transient spectroscopic technique. © 2010 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
