Abstract

Multiple photosynthetic reaction centres have successfully been constructed using supramolecular complexes of zinc porphyrin dendrimers [D(ZnP) _n: n = 4, 8, 16] with fulleropyrrolidine bearing a pyridine ligand (C₆₀py). Efficient energy migration occurs completely between the ZnP units of dendrimers prior to the electron transfer with increasing the generation of dendrimers to attain an extremely long charge-separation lifetime.
