Competitive electron transfer in a novel, broad-band capturing, subphthalocyanine–AzaBODIPY–C60 supramolecular triad

A V-configured subphthalocyanine–azaBODIPY–C60 supramolecular triad has been newly synthesized, and sequential energy and electron transfer leading to the formation of charge separated states, useful properties relevant for solar energy harvesting and building optoelectronic devices, is reported.
