Extending the lifetime of the charge-separated states generated during photoinduced electron transfer in a covalently linked high-potential zinc porphyrin-fullerene dyad, (F15P)Zn–C60, was accomplished by metal–ligand axial coordination of pyridine-functionalized tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) via a dual-electron-transfer/hole migration mechanism. The meso-aryl positions of the zinc porphyrin carried three penta-fluorophenyl substituents that made the zinc porphyrin ring harder to oxidize by 0.43 V compared with zinc porphyrin with meso-phenyl substituents. Two TTF derivatives, a first with a pyridine directly linked to TTF (Py-TTF) and a second with a phenyl spacer between the pyridine and TTF (Py-phTTF), were employed to vary the distance between the primary photosensitizer/electron donor, zinc porphyrin, and the secondary electron donor, TTF. Both Py-TTF and Py-phTTF coordinated via the pyridine entity to the Zn center with 1:1 molecular stoichiometry and moderate binding constants. The supramolecular triads...
