Abstract

Self-assembled monolayers of ferrocene-porphyrin-C60 triads on gold electrodes were prepared to mimic photosynthetic electron transfer events where efficient conversion of light to chemical energy takes place via the long-lived, charge-separated state with a high quantum yield. Adsorbed amounts of the triads on the gold electrodes, estimated from the charge of the anodic peak of the ferrocene, are comparable to those of the well-ordered ...
