Association of C 60 and porphyrin entities to build light harvesting systems is a promising alternative for future photovoltaic devices. Herein, we determine the electron transfer rates in a C 60 ‐porphyrin dyad anchored onto a gold ultramicroelectrode via the porphyrin core. Similar rates are observed for both redox entities, suggesting a tilt of the molecules allowing an efficient through‐space communication between C 60 and the electrode.
