TL;DR: Careful analysis of the kinetic and thermodynamic data using the Marcus approach revealed that this novel feature is due to appropriately positioning the energy level of the charge-separated state below the triplet states of either of the donor and acceptor entities in both polar and nonpolar solvents, a feature that was not evident in donor-acceptor dyads constructed using symmetric tetrapyrroles as electron donors.

TL;DR: In this article, photo-induced electron transfer in donor−acceptor self-assembled zinc naphthalocyanine (ZnNc) or zinc porphyrin(ZnP) single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) nanohybrids has been demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the recent progress made in the design and study of self-assembled supramolecular architectures based on tetrapyrrole macrocycles as donors, and fullerene and carbon nanotubes as acceptors for electron and energy transfer applications in solution.

TL;DR: Iradiation of this intramolecular system with blue light produces oxygen with a higher turnover number than the analogous intermolecular component system under the same conditions.

TL;DR: The present nanohybrids were further utilized to reduce hexyl-viologen dication and a sacrificial electron donor, 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide, in an electron-pooling experiment, offering additional proof for the occurrence of photoinduced charge-separation and potential utilization of these materials in light-energy harvesting applications.
