Synthesis and photophysical properties of steroid-linked porphyrin-fullerene hybrids.
[structure: see text] The photophysical properties of porphyrin-linked fullerene hybrids have generated significant interest, and a number of these hybrids synthesized by this group and others have been extensively characterized with respect to energy and charge-transfer processes that take place upon photoexcitation. Present studies of steroid-linked dyads demonstrate the extent to which through-bond effects operate in these systems.
