Derivatized fullerenes bearing multiple electron donors: Synthesis and charge transfer properties
A series of methano-C-60 adducts bearing up to six electron donating N,N-dimethylaniline units (denoted as D compounds), along with their analogues without the dimethylamino groups as references (R compounds), were synthesized. The redox properties of the D compounds in solutions were evaluated spectroscopically in reference to the R compounds. According to UV/vis absorption results. there are obviously ground-state intramolecular charge-transfer complexes in the D series, and the charge-transfer effects apparently become saturated with only two donor units in the molecule. The photoinduced intratnolecular electron-transfer properties of the D compounds were investigated via fluorescence measurements. The emission from intramolecular exciplexes can be found only in the D molecule with two electron donor units. Throughout the D series, the fluorescence properties are highly sensitive to the solvent polarity, with the emission completely quenched for all of the molecules in a polar solvent like methylene chloride, Mechanistic implications of the results are discussed.
