Photoinduced Electron Transfer in a New Bis(C₆₀)−Phthalocyanine Triad

Abstract

[Structure: see text] A novel covalently linked bis([60]fullerene)-phthalocyanine triad is reported, exhibiting long-lived photoinduced charge separation both in solution and in the solid state. The first demonstration of a working solar cell using triad 1 as the active material is also presented.
