Randomized trial investigates electronic coupling via hydrogen bonds in supramolecular dyads, suggesting enhanced stability.

The aim is to explore electronic communication in supramolecular dyads formed by porphyrin and fullerene derivatives.
Self-assembly of porphyrin amidine and fulleropyrrolidine carboxylic acid was conducted.
The stability constant (Ka) was measured in a toluene/acetonitrile solvent mixture (9:1).
Interactions between hydrogen bonds and electrostatics were analyzed for their impact on electronic coupling.
The stability constant (Ka) for the dyads was approximately 107 M−1 in the solvent mixture.
Hydrogen bonds significantly enhanced the electronic coupling between the electroactive components.
Electrostatic interactions contributed positively towards the stability of the dyads.

Sánchez et al. (2006) studied this question.
