Separation and identification of indene–C70 bisadduct isomers

Synthesis and characterization of bispyrrolidine derivatives of H2@C60: differentiation of isomers using 1H NMR spectroscopy of endohedral H2.

Bisadduct isomers of a H(2)@C(60) derivative with nitroxide addends have been synthesized, isolated and characterized. The (1)H NMRs of endohedral H(2) of the major isomers show well-separated chemical shifts, which could be useful for structural assignment and identification of the purity of the C(60) bisadduct isomers.

Tethered bisadducts of C60 and C70 with addends on a common hexagonal face and a 12-membered hole in the fullerene cage.

The regioselective synthesis of easily isolable pure bismethano derivatives of C60 and C70 with high steric congestion is described using 1,3-dibenzoylpropane bis-p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazone as the addend precursor. When the addition occurs at two [6,6] ring junctions within the same hexagon, bisadducts with mirror symmetry are obtained for both C60 and C70. When the addition occurs at two [5,6...

Improving Photovoltaic Properties of P3HT:IC60BA through the Incorporation of Small Molecules

We investigated the role of a functional solid additive, 2,3-dihydroxypyridine (DHP), in influencing the optoelectronic, morphological, structural and photovoltaic properties of bulk-heterojunction-based polymer solar cells (BHJ PSCs) fabricated using poly(3-hexylthiophene): indene-C60 bisadduct (P3HT:IC60BA) photoactive medium. A dramatic increase in the power conversion efficiency (~20%) was ...

The use of tethered addends to decrease the number of isomers of bisadduct analogues of PCBM.

Preparation, crystallographic characterization and theoretical study of two isomers of C70(CF3)12.

Two isomers of C70(CF3)12 have been isolated from a mixture obtained by trifluoromethylation of C70 with CF3I; their molecular structures determined by X-ray crystallography are in good agreement with the results of theoretical DFT calculations for the most stable C70(CF3)12 isomers.
