title: A novel BF2-chelated azadipyrromethene-fullerene dyad: synthesis, electrochemistry and photodynamics.
abstract: The synthesis, structure, electrochemistry and photodynamics of a BF(2)-chelated azadipyrromethene-fullerene dyad are reported in comparison with BF(2)-chelated azadipyrromethene without fullerene. The attachment of fullerene resulted in efficient generation of the triplet excited state of the azadipyrromethene via photoinduced electron transfer.
