Electron-transfer dyads suitable for novel self-assembled light-harvesting antenna/electron-transfer devices
Abstract:
The synthesis and photophysical and photochemical characterization of four novel bacterio-chlorin-fullerene dyads with fullerene C60 coupled at various positions and by various bridges to the chlorin ring are described. All dyads undergo rapid charge separation in the sub-picosecond to picosecond time range as characterized by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopy.
