Strong intramolecular chromophore interactions in novel bis([60]fullerene)-oligoporphyrin nanoarrays.
Novel nanodimensional dyads were prepared by Bingel reaction of meso, meso-linked oligoporphyrin bis-malonates with C60. Distinct conformational effects were observed as a result of strong fullerene-porphyrin interactions, which also lead to efficient quenching of the porphyrin luminescence.
