Complexation of (hydroxy)(oxo)(5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato) molybdenum(v) with 2’,5’-di(2-pyridyl)-1’-(3-pyridylmethyl) pyrrolidino[70]fullerene leading to a new donor–acceptor triad is characterized by quantitative description of the equilibrium and the reaction rate. The prospects of the triad as a photosynthetic antenna imitator and an active layer in solar energy conversion devices are substantiated.
