Zn(II) porphyrin-C60 dyad 1 was synthesized by the coupling reaction between Zn(II) 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-methoxylphenyl) porphyrin and 1,2-methanofullerene[60]-61-carboxylic acid. The electron-donor capacity of the porphyrin moiety in dyad 1 is enhanced by methoxy group substitution on the macrocycle peripheries and complexation with Zn(II).
