Electron transfer rates in an adsorbed C60-porphyrin dyad
Résumé
Association of C60 and porphyrin entities to build light harvesting systems is a promising alternative for future photovoltaic devices. Herein, we determine the electron transfer rates in a C60-porphyrin dyad anchored
onto a gold ultramicroelectrode via the porphyrin core. Similar rates are observed for both redox entities, suggesting a tilt of the molecules allowing an efficient through-space communication between C60 and the electrode
