Porphyrin fullerene dyads 5 and 6 can be derived by Bingel reaction from a
deuteroporphyrin derivative 3 with an attached macrocyclic bislactone moiet
y. The porphyrin bislactone 3 on the other hand is easily formed in an este
rification reaction between malonic acid and a deuteroporphyrin bisalcohol
2. Missing fluorescence in the dyads 5 and 6 indicates a light induced intr
amolecular electron transfer from the porphyrin to the fullerene part. (C)
