This tutorial review surveys and highlights the integration of different molecular wires—in
combination with chromophores that exhibit (i) significant absorption cross section …

We have designed and synthesized a number of donor-acceptor linked systems to elucidate
the science of photoinduced charge separation. In particular, porphyrin-fullerene and …

We have developed a novel strategy for the construction of molecular photovoltaic devices
where the porphyrins and fullerenes employed as building blocks are organized into …

The focus of this review is on host–guest composites with photonic antenna properties. The
material generally consists of cylindrical zeolite L crystals the channels of which are filled …

Electron transfer (ET) is a fundamental process in a wide range of biological systems,
photovoltaics and molecular electronics. Therefore to understand the relationship between …

We have proposed a novel strategy for artificial photosynthesis where porphyrins and
fullerenes are assembled as building blocks into nanostructured artificial photosynthetic …

This critical review covers the timely topic of carbon nanostructures—fullerenes and carbon
nanotubes—in combination with metalloporphyrins as integrative components for electron …

Synthetic giant multiporphyrin arrays with well-defined architectures are reviewed in terms of
artificial light-harvesting materials. Meso, meso-linked porphyrin arrays and multiporphyrin …

We have prepared a variety of porphyrin–fullerene linked systems to mimic photoinduced
energy and electron transfer (ET) processes in photosynthesis. Photodynamical studies on …

We use time-dependent density functional theory together with a set of extensive
multidimensional visualization techniques to characterize band gap, optical absorption …
