Recently synthesized porphyrin−fullerene dyads with two separate linkers form a nearly symmetric complex with π-stack sandwich-like structure. The interchromophore interactions of such complexes can be fine-tuned by varying the linker lengths, which opens an opportunity to control physical and chemical properties of the dyads. Absorption spectroscopy emerged as a convenient means to register the interchromophore interactions: the spectra of the chromophores ground-state absorptions show appreciable perturbations and, more importantly, an additional absorption feature is discernible in the near-infrared region. Similarly, the emission spectra have a character typical for intramolecular exciplex. These new spectral features (i.e., absorption and emission) were attributed to a new electronic state, namely, an intramolecular preformed exciplex, featuring a common molecular orbital with a partial charge transfer (CT) character. From the mechanistic point of view, it is important that the preformed exciplex pr...
