Summary

New C(60)-based triads with electroactive units were synthesized. Electron transfer occurs from stronger donors like tetrathiafulvalene to the fullerene excited state, influencing electrochemical properties.

Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Photochemistry

Background:

  • Fullerenes (C60) are versatile building blocks in supramolecular chemistry.
  • Tuning electronic properties of C60 through functionalization is crucial for advanced applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Synthesize novel C(60)-based triads with diverse electroactive units.
  • Investigate electronic interactions and intramolecular electron transfer (ET) processes within these triads.

Main Methods:

  • 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethyne ylides to C(60).
  • Acylation of the fulleropyrrolidine nitrogen.
  • Electrochemical studies (cyclic voltammetry).
  • Fluorescence and time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy.

Main Results:

  • Synthesized triads with donor-donor (TTF-Fc) and donor-acceptor (Fc-AQ, Fc-TCAQ) moieties.
  • Electrochemical studies revealed electronic interactions between redox-active units.
  • C(60) reduction potentials were shifted cathodically in TTF-Fc triads.
  • Spectroscopic studies confirmed intramolecular ET from stronger donors (TTF/extended TTF) to the C(60) singlet excited state.

Conclusions:

  • The synthesized C(60) triads exhibit tunable electrochemical properties based on the attached electroactive units.
  • Intramolecular ET dynamics are governed by the relative donor strengths.
  • These findings contribute to the design of novel photoactive and electroactive fullerene derivatives.
