Porphyrin–fullerene dyads with different linkages between the two subunits were synthesized for mimicking photosynthesis. NMR spectra and quantum mechanical calculations show special structural features that should influence light‐induced electron transfer of the photosynthetic process. Starting point of the synthetic routes is a deuterioporphyrin dimethyl ester prepared from the readily accessible blood pigment heme. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
