We have synthesized and characterized a new C60-SiPc-C60 triad showing no aggregation. Photoexcitation of the triad results in formation of the charge separated state by photoinduced electron transfer from the singlet excited state of the SiPc moiety to the C60 moiety. Org. Lett., Vol. 9, No. 17, 2007

We have synthesized a photoswitchable azobenzene–phthalocyanine–azobenzene triad. Energy transfer among the subunits allows for modification of the E–Z ratio by selective excitation of the phthalocyanine moiety. Chem. Commun., 2006, 1265-1267
