Abstract

Here, we present a novel conjugate based on a weakly electron-donating Zn(H)-meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin linked to a strongly electron-accepting C-60. From spectroscopic and electrochemical investigations a 1.9 eV high charge-separated state is derived. Transient absorption spectroscopy measurements analyzed by global target analysis confirmed the successful charge separation with a quantum yield of 72% despite an overall small driving force of only 0.2 eV. The charge separated state lifetime is in the nanosecond range. Considering that 90% of the singlet excited state energy is transiently stored in the charge-separated state, we conclude a charge separation energy efficiency of 65%.
