Unusually accepting : A series of metalloporphyrin–ruthenocene complexes, synthesized by direct coordination of a [Ru(Cp*)] + fragment to the π‐electron “face” of several metallooctaethylporphyrins (see graphic), undergo efficient photoinduced electron transfer from the ruthenocene unit (acting as the electron donor) to the singlet excited state of the metalloporphyrin unit (acting as the electron acceptor) to give a charge‐separated state.
