We have prepared a variety of porphyrin–fullerene linked systems to mimic photoinduced
energy and electron transfer (ET) processes in photosynthesis. Photodynamical studies on …

We propose a novel strategy using fullerenes for the construction of solar energy conversion
systems that mimic the primary electron transfer events in photosynthesis. Redox‐active …

Time-resolved fluorescence and absorption techniques have been used to investigate
energy and photoinduced electron transfer in a covalently linked free-base porphyrin …

Various porphyrin–fullerene-linked systems have been prepared to elucidate the intrinsic
electron-transfer properties of fullerenes. Photodynamical studies on porphyrin–fullerene …

Both charge-transfer absorption and emission have been observed in porphyrin-linked
fullerene where the C60 moiety is closely located on the porphyrin plane. Electron-transfer …

This review describes light induced energy or electron transfer reactions in self-assembled
supramolecular zinc porphyrin/zinc phthalocyanine and fullerene bearing donor–acceptor …

A meso, meso‐linked porphyrin trimer,(ZnP) 3, as a light‐harvesting chromophore, has been
incorporated for the first time into a photosynthetic multistep electron‐transfer model …

A ferrocene-porphyrin-C60 triad was prepared to mimic efficient photosynthetic multistep
electron transfer system. Upon irradiation, the triad produced a long-lived charge-separated …

An extremely long-lived charge-separated state has been achieved successfully using a
ferrocene− zincporphyrin− freebaseporphyrin− fullerene tetrad which reveals a cascade of …

A variety of porphyrin-linked C60 dyads and triads have been designed and synthesized to
elucidate the special properties of fullerenes in electron transfer (ET). C60 or …
