The tunable absorption features of phthalocyanine (Pcs) and related compounds such as subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) render them ideal antenna systems that harvest light over a broad range of the solar spectrum. The different synthetic strategies that have been pursued so far for the preparation of D-A Pc and SubPc-carbon nanostructure systems, having the donor and the acceptor units connected either covalently or by using supramolecular interactions were studied. A thorough analysis on the photophysical properties of dyads in solution was also carried out, confirming the occurrence of PET events. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed that the amphiphilic Pc-C60 dyad salt, when dispersed in water, is able to form perfectly ordered 1-D nanotubules, due to a combination of solvophobic and π-π stacking interactions. One of the most outstanding applications of these materials is their incorporation in photovoltaic devices in which generation of electrical current from solar energy takes place.
