Synthesis and photophysics of a porphyrin-fullerene dyad assembled through Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding.
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.
