Description
Summary:Organic photovoltaic devices based on supramolecular complexes of porphyrin‐modified gold nanoclusters with fullerene molecules are described and their promising photoelectrochemical performance reported. The incorporation of C60 in surface holes on the porphyrin‐modified gold nanoclusters (see Figure)—caused by the addition of a short‐chain alkanethiol to the porphyrin modification mixture—plays a key role.
