81. RuP-NDI'-RuP is clearly a triad from a structural viewpoint. From the functional viewpoint, however, symmetric triads can be effectively considered as pseudo-dyads.
82. Free NDI is barely soluble in chlorinated solvents.

95. A. Weller, Z. Phys. Chem., 1982, 133, 93. For the NDI-AlP dyad, a centre-to-centre distance of 8.5 A, as obtained from the DFT-optimized structure, has been used. For the NDI-AlMPyP-RuP triad, in which the conformational freedom allows for a range of centre-to-centre distances, an average value of 12 Å has been assumed. Effective radii of 4 and 5 Å were assumed, respectively, for the NDI and porphyrin molecular fragments.
96. -5 M range) rules out hypothesis (i) Furthermore, hypothesis (ii) is consistent with a quantitative analysis of the absorption spectra of Fig. 6, which reveals a small (ca. 10% excess) of porphyrin over NDI spectral features.
97. The 570-610 nm region, hidden in Fig. 10 by the excitation pulse, can be monitored by using 550 nm as excitation wavelength (see Figure SI14, ESI†.
