An overview of the evolution of artificial photosynthetic charge transfer systems containing porphyrin donors and pyromellitic or naphthalene diimide acceptor units is presented. Progression in this area of research is highlighted by the complexity of the systems, the nature of the medium separating donor and acceptor as well as the progression in the lifetime of the charge‐separated state upon photoexcitation. A number of supramolecular systems that utilize hydrogen bonding or axial ligation of zinc porphyrins as a means for spatial orientation are highlighted.
