Supramolecular porphyrin-fullerene via 'two-point' binding strategy: Axial-coordination and cation-crown ether complexation

摘要

A highly stable porphyrin - fullerene conjugate with defined distance and orientation, was formed using a newly developed 'two-point' binding strategy involving axial-coordination and cation - crown ether complexation; photochemical studies performed in benzonitrile revealed efficient charge separation and slow charge-recombination in the supramolecular complex.
