Two new pyrrolidinofullerenes, 1 and 2, have been synthesized, and their photophysical properties have been investigated. The pyrrolidinofullerene 1 has three phenyl groups attached to the 1, 2, and 5 positions of the pyrrolidine ring. The pyrrolidinofullerene 2, on the other hand, has a flexible attachment with an N-methylaniline end group and is the prototype of a fullerene-aniline dyad. Singlet and triplet excited-state properties of these two ...
