Formation of Zwitterionic Fullerodendron Using a New DBN-Focal Dendron
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new poly(amidoamine) dendron having 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) at the focal point was synthesized. Interestingly, formation of zwitterionic fullerodendrons (λ(max) = 930 nm for C(60) and 795 nm for C(70)) were observed by Vis-NIR spectroscopy upon the reaction of C(60) or C(70) with the DBN-focal dendron. In particular, the C(70) anion was effectively stabilized by the site isolation effect of the dendritic wedge. The half-life of fullerodendron 12b having C(70) anion at the focal point reaches 7,345 min, which is 20 times longer than that of complex between C(60) and pristine DBN. Furthermore, in order to confirm the structure of the zwitterionic complex, fullerodendron 12a was reprecipitated from benzonitrile/1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, and was observed using IR spectroscopy and APPI-MS.

Convergent and divergent syntheses of novel organic hybrid structures termed dendron rodcoils (DRC) containing dendritic, rodlike, and coillike segments are described. The aryl ester dendron masked with 32 trifluoromethyl groups is prepared via a convergent approach using 5-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)isophthalic acid as the monomer unit. The activation of the focal point of the dendron allows fo...
متن کاملSWCNT Photocatalyst for Hydrogen Production from Water upon Photoexcitation of (8, 3) SWCNT at 680-nm Light
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are potentially strong optical absorbers with tunable absorption bands depending on their chiral indices (n, m). Their application for solar energy conversion is difficult because of the large binding energy (>100 meV) of electron-hole pairs, known as excitons, produced by optical absorption. Recent development of photovoltaic devices based on SWCNTs as l...
