Abstract

A series of semirigid donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) molecules was synthesized to study the effect of the position and number of nonconjugated olefinic bonds in the bridge on the photoinduced charge-separation and charge-recombination kinetics. The molecules consist of a phenylpiperidine electron donor, an oligo (cyclohexylidene) or oligo (cyclohexyl) bridge, and a dicyanovinyl acceptor. Partly saturated ter (cyclohexylidene) bridges were used as ...
