Abstract

We report the step-by-step synthesis of a precious metal-free acceptor-chromophore-relay-catalyst tetrad assembly that exhibits a turnover frequency (TOF) of 7.5 × 10−3 s−1 under neutral conditions. Transient absorption spectroscopic studies indicate that upon fullerenol incorporation into the investigated complexes, charge separation efficiency increases considerably.
