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

This review will attempt to cover the literatures published from 1988 dealing with cyclic and
acyclic azomethine ylides in which a part or the whole of the ylide conjugation is included in …

Photoinduced charge separation (CS) and charge recombination (CR) processes have
been examined in various porphyrin− fullerene linked systems (ie., dyads and triads) by …

An extremely long-lived charge-separated state has been achieved successfully using a
ferrocene− zincporphyrin− freebaseporphyrin− fullerene tetrad which reveals a cascade of …

This feature article highlights the advantages of employing [60] fullerene as a viable electron
accepting building block in novel donor acceptor systems. Different strategies that aim …

We propose a novel strategy using fullerenes for the construction of solar energy conversion
systems that mimic the primary electron transfer events in photosynthesis. Redox‐active …

Fullerenes were initially found to be inert, but their unique cage structure and solubility in
organic solvents opened up their susceptibility to functionalization via addition and redox …

C60 fullerene is an icosahedrally shaped nanosized molecule and is a useful building block
to form various ordered functional nanostructures due to its size, shape, and …

Self-assembled monolayers of ferrocene− porphyrin− C60 triads on gold electrodes were
prepared to mimic photosynthetic electron transfer events where efficient conversion of light …

A carotenoid (C) porphyrin (P) fullerene (C60) molecular triad (C− P− C60) has been
synthesized and found to undergo photoinduced electron transfer from the porphyrin first …
