A new molecular dyad consisting of a Cy5 chromophore and ferrocene (Fc) and a triad consisting of Cy5, Fc, and β-cyclodextrin (CD) are synthesized and their photophysical properties investigated at both the ensemble and single-molecule levels. Hole transfer efficiency from Cy5 to Fc in the dyad is r...
