Hexaoxatriphenylene, a scaffold linker often utilized in building covalent organic frameworks, is shown to be electroactive and a useful entity to build light energy-harvesting donor acceptor systems. To demonstrate this, new donor acceptor conjugates have been synthesized by employing BODIPY as a sensitizer. Excited-state electron transfer leading to high-energy charge-separated states, useful to drive energy-demanding photocatalytic reactions, from the electron rich hexaoxatriphenylene to (BODIPY)-B-1*, in the synthesized tri-BODIPY hexaoxatriphenylene "paddle-wheel" conjugates, has been successfully demonstrated using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The measured rate of charge separation was in the range of similar to 3-10 X 10(11) s(-1) revealing ultrafast charge separation.
