چکیده

The supramolecular association of an oligophenylene-vinylene (OPV)-based Hamilton-type receptor 1 with C60-barbiturate 2, via six hydrogen bonds per OPV terminal, forming C60/OPV/C60 complex 3 is presented. The particular host-guest motif expressed in 3 ensures strong interactions between the discrete components of the complex based on the multiple hydrogen bonding interactions as conveyed by an association constant greater than 10(5) M(-1). Furthermore, femto- and nano-second transient absorption studies disclose photoinduced charge separation from (1)OPV* to C60 within 9.4 ps. The observed ultrafast charge separation phenomena in the C60/OPV/C60 complex open up wide avenues toward the efficient construction of new materials for optoelectronic and solar cell applications.

Photoinduced charge separation and charge recombination of fullerene bearing dendritic poly(amidoamine) with carboxylates at the terminal in aqueous media.

Photoinduced charge separation of fullerodendrimers with carboxylates at terminal sites (C60 approximately COO-) has been found in aqueous media. Time-resolved transient absorption and fluorescence measurements of the fullerodendrimers demonstrated that charge separation takes place from the terminal carboxylate anion to the central excited singlet state of C60, generating C60*- approximately C...

Theoretical estimation of the rate of photoinduced charge transfer reactions in triphenylamine C60 donor-acceptor conjugate

Fullerene-based molecular heterojunctions such as the [6,6]-pyrrolidine-C60 donor-acceptor conjugate containing triphenylamine (TPA) are potential materials for high-efficient dye-sensitized solar cells. In this work, we estimate the rate constants for the photoinduced charge separation and charge recombination processes in TPA-C60 using the unrestricted and time-dependent DFT methods. Differen...

Synthesis and photoinduced electron transfer in platinum(II) bis(N-(4-ethynylphenyl)carbazole)bipyridine fullerene complexes.

Platinum(ii) bis(N-(4-ethynylphenyl)carbazole)bipyridine fullerene complexes, (Cbz)2-Pt(bpy)-C60 and ((t)BuCbz)2-Pt(bpy)-C60, were synthesized. Their photophysical properties were studied by electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy and the origin of the transitions was supported by computational studies. The electrochemical properties were also studied and the free energies for charge-se...

Strong supramolecular binding of Li(+)@C60 with sulfonated meso-tetraphenylporphyrins and long-lived photoinduced charge separation.

A supramolecular binding occurred between lithium ion encapsulated [60]fullerene (Li(+)@C(60)) and sulfonated tetraphenylporphyrins ([MTPPS](4-) M = H(2) and Zn) in a benzonitrile solution. Photoexcitation of Li(+)@C(60)/[MTPPS](4-) results in formation of a long-lived charge-separated state by photoinduced electron transfer.

Through-bond photoinduced electron transfer in a porphyrin-fullerene conjugate held by a Hamilton type hydrogen bonding motif.

Control over the occurrence of through-bond electron transfer in self-assembled donor-acceptor conjugates is often difficult, since through-space electron transfer also competes due to the flexible nature of the spacer used to link the entities. In the present study, we have constructed a self-assembled donor-acceptor conjugate held solely by complementary hydrogen bonding and established throu...
