[reaction: see text] Titration of porphyrin-fullerene rotaxanes with DABCO or 4,4'-bipyridine led to photo- and redoxactive catenanic architectures, which upon photoexcitation undergo a sequence of short-range energy and electron transfer events to give a long-lived charge-separated radical-pair state.

A full-spectrum (300-850 nm) responsive donor-acceptor (D-A) supramolecular photocatalyst tetraphenylporphinesulfonate/fullerene (TPPS/C ) is successfully constructed. The theoretical spectral efficiency of TPPS/C is as high as 70%, offering the possibility of full-solar-spectrum light harvesting. The TPPS/C performs a highly efficient photocatalytic H evolution rate of 276.

Here, we present a novel butadiyne-linked HBC-ethynyl-porphyrin dimer, which exhibits in the ground state strong absorption cross sections throughout the UV and visible ranges of the solar spectrum. In short, a unidirectional flow of excited state energy from the HBC termini to the (metallo)porphyrin focal points enables concentrating light at the latter. Control over excitonic interactions within, for example, the electron-donating porphyrin dimers was realized by complexation of bidentate ligands to set up panchromatic absorption that extends all the way into the near-infrared range.

In this work, we report a two-step synthesis that allows the introduction of four pyrene or corannulene fragments at the position of -tetraarylporphyrins using a microwave-assisted quadruple Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Placing the PAHs at this position, further from the porphyrin core, avoids the participation of the porphyrin core in binding with fullerenes. The fullerene hosting ability of the four new molecular receptors was investigated by NMR titrations and DFT studies.

Herein, we report a novel porphyrin/fullerene supramolecular cocrystal using a shape-persistent zinc-metalated porphyrin box (Zn-PB) and C/C. An unprecedented arrangement of a tightly packed square-planar core of four C or C surrounded by six cube-shaped Zn-PBs was observed. This unique packing promotes strong charge transfer (CT) interactions between the two components in the ground state and formation of charge-separated states with very long lifetimes in the excited state and enables unusually high photoconductivity.

Two novel triads had been designed through covalent bond connection of the boron dipyrromethane (BODIPY), free base porphyrin (H2P) or zinc(ii) porphyrin (ZnP) and N-methyl-2-phenyl-3,4-fulleropyrrolidine (C) mediated by BODIPY. This closely spaced triad arrangement where porphyrin and fullerene are placed apart is anticipated to stabilize charge separation by separating the two radicals from each other. Two model polyads were synthesized with BODIPY and H2P or ZnP to investigate interaction between the two chromophores.
