Non-covalent supramolecular systems demonstrating photoinduced electron and energy transfer processes are of importance since they can mimic the photosynthesis reaction process and they are artificial nanoscale architectures potentially leading to solar energy conversion. As a three-dimensional and electron-deficient building block, fullerene has attracted people's attention to construct such supramolecular assemblies. Noncovalently linked C60-porphyrin complexes are one of the supramolecular systems. A conjugated N-(p-pyridyl)-3,4-fulleropyrrolidine acceptor was synthesized, and the acceptor-donor systems were generated through coordinations between the C60 ligand and a series of Zn-porphyrins. Stable self-assembled linear complexes via axial ligation method were obtained. The photophysical properties of the library of acceptor-donor systems were studied. The following picture shows the X-ray structure of one of the complexes. |
