Abstract

Abstract Novel covalent fullerene C 60–perylene-3, 4: 9, 10-bis (dicarboximide)(C 60–PDI) dyads (1–4) were synthesized and characterized. Their electrochemical and photophysical properties were investigated. Electrochemical studies show that the reduction potential of PDI can be tuned relative to C 60 by molecular engineering through altering the substituents on the PDI bay region. It was demonstrated using steady-state and time-resolved ...
