A bisfullerene-bis(dipyrrinato)zinc complex: electronic coupling and charge separation in an easy-to-assemble synthetic system.
Getting connected: The use of a bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II)) linker allows the facile tethering of two C(60) subunits and gives rise to an electronically coupled system that allows effective charge separation following photoexcitation (see figure).
