A new porphyrin-C60 triad based on rotaxane topology was designed and synthesized by adopting Sauvage’s approach. The photophysical properties were studied. The photoinduced electron transfer process was investigated by transient absorption spectrum. The relationship of the rate of electron transfer and the molecular topology will be discussed.
