Abstract

The formation of a high-energy, long-lived radical ion-pair by electron transfer exclusively from the triplet excited state, is demonstrated in a newly synthesized platinum porphyrin-fullerene dyad, in which the porphyrin ring is modified with three electron rich triphenylamine entities. The spin selectivity of the electron transfer leading to the formation of the radical ion-pair is demonstrated using time-resolved optical and EPR spectroscopic techniques.
