Abstract

A new stilbene-tethered bis(porphyrin) tweezer has been synthesized that exists as two configurational isomers. UV/Vis, fluorescence, and MALDI-TOF studies have demonstrated that the Z isomer exhibits asignificantly larger affinity towards fullerenes. The photoisomerization of the high-affinity (Z) isomer to the low-affinity (E) configuration is also discussed.
