A series of covalent ferrocene-BODIPY-fullerene triads with the ferrocene groups conjugated to the BODIPY π-system and the fullerene acceptor linked at the boron hub by a common catecholpyrrolidine bridge were prepared and characterized by 1D and 2D NMR, UV/Vis, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and, for one of the derivatives, X-ray crystallography. Redox processes of the new compounds were investigated by electrochemical (CV and DPV) methods and spectroelectrochemistry. DFT calculations indicate that the HOMO in all triads was delocalized between ferrocene and BODIPY π-system, the LUMO was always fullerene-centered, and the catechol-centered occupied orbital was close in energy to the HOMO.

Noncovalent π-π interactions between chloroboron subphthalocyanine (1), 2,3-subnaphthalocyanine (3), 1,4,8,11,15,18-(hexathiophenyl)subphthalocyanine (4), or 4-tert-butylphenoxyboron subphthalocyanine (2) with C and C fullerenes were studied by UV-vis and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as mass (APCI, ESI, and CSI) spectrometry. Mass spectrometry experiments were suggestive of relatively weak interaction energies between compounds 1-4 and fullerenes. The formation of a new weak charge-transfer band in the NIR region was observed in solution only for subphthalocyanine 4 when titrated with C and C fullerenes.
