Abstract
Blazing saddles: A supramolecular conglomerate is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding between two saddle‐distorted ZnII–phthalocyanine complexes coordinated by 4‐pyridinecarboxylate and one doubly protonated saddle‐distorted porphyrin dication. The assembly undergoes photoinduced intrasupramolecular electron transfer to generate an electron‐transfer state with the lifetime of 667 ps.
