Abstract:

A new ligand has been designed that provides a relatively simple framework to build supramolecular systems containing both fullerene and transition-metal moieties. The modular framework of the ligand allows for the easy design of more complex systems. Analysis of absorption and emission spectra suggests significant photoinduced charge transfer between the two moieties. More complex systems and the excited-state photophysics of the presented systems are being studied.
