Abstract :
A multichromophoric ternary complex containing a zinc porphyrin, perylene diimide and a methanofullerene was constructed. The use of a sequential Stern-Volmer analysis was employed to demonstrate the formation of the ternary complex and the energetics of a charge-separated state through a multistep photoinduced electron transfer was investigated.
