Porphyrin-fullerene dyads with different linkages between the two subunits were synthesized for mimicking photosynthesis. NMR spectra and quantum mechanical calculations show special structural features that should influence lightinduced electron transfer of the photosynthetic process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
