Abstract
A novel porphyrin–fullerene dyad assembled through Watson–Crick hydrogen bonds is described; this system undergoes photoinduced electron transfer upon irradiation with visible light to produce a charge separated state that is substantially longer lived than that of previous dyads of this type.
