TL;DR: In this article, the porphyrin first excited singlet states decay in about 20 ps by singlet−singlet energy transfer to the fullerene, and the first-excited singlet state is not quenched and undergoes intersystem crossing to the triplet.

TL;DR: The porphyin-C60 dyads in which the two chromophores are linked by a bicyclic bridge have been synthesized using the Diels-Alder reaction as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of metalloporphyrin compounds were tethered to a gold surface by means of an isothiocyano linkage and both images and current-voltage (I−V) curves were obtained with the sample submerged in oxygen-free mesitylene.

TL;DR: In this article, a variety of molecular triads and dyads consisting of covalently linked carotenoid (C) and porphyrin (P) moieties have been prepared and studied with transient absorption and time-resolved fluorescence techniques.

TL;DR: A series of molecular pentads, each consisting of a porphyrin dyad covalently linked to a carotenoid polyene and a diquinone moiety, have been prepared, and the photochemical properties of these molecules have been studied using steady-state and transient absorption and emission spectroscopies as mentioned in this paper.
