| Abstract
| - The laser flash photolysis of material 1 (layered γ-ZrP containing covalently attached Ru(bpy)3- and C60-phosphonates), dyad 2, and material 3 (amorphous solid Zr(n-BuO) derivative of dyad 2) was accomplished.Zirconium salts, regardless of their amorphous or layered structures, appear to be excellent hosts for developinglong-lived charge-separated states between C60 and Ru(bpy)3 derivatives. Moreover, the presented evidencepoints to the important fact that the inorganic scaffolding acted as a semiconductor, harvesting the electronsand/or holes produced at the active organic components. These findings suggest that the studied materialscould be suitable for the building of practical solar cells.
