Abstract

Abstract Oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) derivatives substituted with one or two fullerene subunits have been prepared starting from a fullerene carboxylic acid derivative and OPV heptamers bearing one or two alcohol functions. The electrochemical properties of the resulting C 60-OPV derivatives have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Whereas the fist reduction of both C 60–OPV conjugates is centered on the C 60 unit, the oxidation is ...
