Porphyrin-based materials are attracting great interest due to their wide range of applications. They are often embedded into metal organic frameworks (MOF) to manipulate and investigate the relations between function and structure. Together with an electron acceptor charge separation can be achieved being beneficial for uses e.g. in solar cells or photocatalysis. Experiments on ZnTPP (Zinc 5,15-bis-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-10,20-bis-(4-carboxyphenyl)) in a surface anchored MOF (SURMOF) loaded with fullerene C60 inside the pores have shown that photoexcitation increases the conductivity by up to two orders of magnitude.[1] Here, we investigate excited states dynamics after optical excitation with transient absorption spectroscopy on the femto- to nanosecond scale. Charge separated states can be identified, which have a lifetime of a few hundred picoseconds. The charge separation occurs after excitation of both the Soret band and the Q band.
