A tube for electrons : Through π–π and Coulomb interactions, a complex is obtained between carbon nanotubes grafted with pyrene + ( 1 ) and the zinc porphyrin complex 2 . Photoexcitation of the resulting donor–acceptor assembly is followed by a rapid and efficient charge separation to generate a charge‐separated state that lives for microseconds.
