Abstract

A flexible organic triad consisting of two perylene bisimide antennas covalently linked to a [60]fullerene by flexible spacers has been synthesized and studied by electrochemistry, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy. We found that - -stacking of the two antenna subunits has considerable impact on the photophysics of the system and leads to a reduction of the effective light-harvesting efficiency of the assembly. This finding is important for light harvesting in flexible materials based on the dye antenna-fullerene concept.
