Abstract

The synthesis, structure, electrochemistry and photodynamics of a BF₂-chelated azadipyrromethene–fullerene dyad are reported in comparison with BF₂-chelated azadipyrromethene without fullerene. The attachment of fullerene resulted in efficient generation of the triplet excited state of the azadipyrromethenevia photoinduced electron transfer.
