title: Electron transfer switching in supramolecular porphyrin-fullerene conjugates held by alkylammonium cation-crown ether binding.
abstract: Reversible switching between intra- to intermolecular electron transfer paths has been accomplished by adding and extracting potassium ions to the supramolecular porphyrin-fullerene conjugates formed by complexing porphyrin functionalized with a benzo-18-crown-6 entity and fullerene functionalized with an alkylammonium cation entity.
