The natural photosynthetic light energy harvesting functional nano-architectures, organized
exclusively by non-covalent interactions, have inspired the design of artificial …

In this review article, we highlight recent advances in the field of solar energy conversion at
a molecular level. We focus mainly on investigations regarding fullerenes as well as …

INTRODUCTION supposed to do it all—light absorption, charge separation, transport, and
even catalysis—without degradation or decomposition. Pure chemical approaches have …

Over years, mathematicians, biologists and chemists have capitalised on the highly useful
concept of orthogonality for developing sophisticated complex systems. The use of …

C60 fullerene is an icosahedrally shaped nanosized molecule and is a useful building block
to form various ordered functional nanostructures due to its size, shape, and …

This review highlights the combined effort of the Torres and Guldi groups in the preparation
and study of porphyrinoid-based photo-and electro-active systems. The perfect synergy …

We describe the formation of charge‐transfer complexes that feature electron‐donating
carbon nanodots (CND) and electron‐accepting perylenediimides (PDI). The functionalities …

A novel supramolecular system composed of diketopyrrolopyrrole electron donors and
perylene derived bisimide (PDI) electron acceptors forms superstructures that undergo fast …

We report on the synthesis and characterization of a family of three water‐soluble bola‐
amphiphilic zinc‐porphyrin‐perylenebisimide triads containing oligo carboxylic‐acid capped …

The first highly water-soluble perylene–calix [4] arene hybrid with the calixarene scaffold
acting as a structure-determining central platform is presented. In this tetrahedrally shaped …
