Abstract

Multiple charge-separation sites have successfully been constructed using supramolecular complexes of multiporphyrinic oligopeptides [P(ZnP)(n), n = 2, 4, 8] with fulleropyrrolidine bearing a pyridine or imidazole coordinating ligand, which are organized by utilizing π-π interaction in addition to the coordination bond.
