Simple Synthesis of a Chlorin - Fullerene Dyad with a Novel Ring-Closure Reaction.
To model the photosynthetic reaction center, the chlorin - fullerene dyad 1 was synthesized in a one-pot reaction from a linear tetrapyrrole and C(60). It is the first dyad of this type which contains a fullerene and a chlorin unit, the chromophore of naturally occurring photosynthetic systems.
