Abstract

There is substantial interest in dyads in which C60 is covalently linked to electron donors, such as porphyrins, which absorb light strongly in the visible region. We present here the details of the syntheses of such compounds, which can be broadly organized into categories depending upon the nature of the linker joining the two chromophores. The structural aspects of intramolecular electronic interaction that we have sought to explore have ...
