A 'two-point' bound zinc porphyrin-zinc phthalocyanine-fullerene supramolecular triad for sequential energy and electron transfer

Abstract

A novel supramolecular triad composed of a zinc porphyrin-zinc phthalocyanine dyad and fullerenes has been assembled using a 'two-point' axial binding approach, and occurrence of efficient photoinduced energy transfer followed by electron transfer is demonstrated.
