A new dyad DII‐Ir consisting of a triphenylamine donor and a bis(terpyridine)Ir III acceptor separated by a bridge composed of two benzamide groups has been synthesized. The electrochemical and photophysical properties of the dyad have been compared to those of a corresponding dyad D‐Ir characterized by a bridge connecting the donor and the acceptor consisting of a single benzamide unit. We show that, whereas the charge‐separation steps are still very efficient in the long dyad (≥99 %), charge recombination is slowed by a factor of three with respect to the short dyad. This encourages the use of this dyad in the assembly of a more elaborate array DII‐Ir‐A, expected to overcome the disappointingly low charge‐separation yield of a previously studied D‐Ir‐A short triad.
