Phthalocyanines linked to C60 have been synthesized by two general strategies. One of them involves the addition of an azomethine ylide prepared in situ from a formyl phthalocyanine to C60, and the other one involves a statistical condensation of two substituted phthalonitriles, one of them bearing the C60 moiety covalently attached. These new phthalocyanine-fullerene dyads have been studied by cyclic voltammetry and Osteryoung square wave voltammetry, and inter- and intramolecular electronic interactions between the two electroactive subunits have been demonstrated.
