Redox and Excitation Studies with C60-Substituted Malonic Acid Diethyl Esters
摘要:
Flash photolytic formation of excited triplet states, their consecutive reductive quenching with diazabicyclooctane (DABCO), and pulse radiolytic formation of pi-radical anions of various Cao-derivatives have been recorded. The fullerenes were functionalized via single, double, and triple cyclopropylation of C-60 with bromomalonic acid diethyl ester. Flash photolytic irradiation at 308 nm of these C-60 derivatives in toluene solution yielded triplet excited states which exhibited a strong blue shift of lambda(max) by nearly 100 nm as compared to plain C-3(60). This is rationalized in terms of a gradual destruction of the fullerene's pi-system with an increasing number of bis(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene groups. The blue shift coincides with a significant slow down for the rate of reductive quenching of the excited triplet states by DABCO, i.e., 1.3 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) vs 2.5 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) for the quenching of equatorial-(C-3(60))[C(COOEt)(2)](3) and C-3(60), respectively. The radical-induced reduction of functionalized C-60 has been studied in a toluene/acetone/2-propanol mixture by means of time-resolved pulse radiolysis with measurements being conducted in the characteristic near-IR region. An almost linear dependence is obtained between the energy of the most significant IR-pi-radical anion band versus the number of bis(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene groups at the fullerene core, with the respective lambda(max) ranging from 1080 nm for C-60(.-) to 1015 nm for equatorial-(C-60(.-))[C(COOEt)(2)](3). A corresponding trend emerges from cyclic voltammetry measurements on the redox potential in toluene/2-propanol. They show a difference of 330 mV between the formation of C-60(.-) (E(1/2) = -0.55 V vs SCE) and the first reduction of equatorial-C-60-[C(COOEt)(2)](3) (E(1/2) = -0.86 V vs SCE). It appears that all these physicochemical parameters very sensitively reflect the site and degree of functionalization of C-60.
Macrocyclization on the fullerene core: Direct regio- and diastereoselective multi-functionalization of [60]fullerene, and synthesis of fullerene-dendrimer derivatives
induce dramatic changes in the chiroptical properties of the tether chromophore such as strong enhancement and reversal of sign of the Cotton effects in the circulardichroism (CD) spectra (Figs. 4 and 5). By the same method, the functionafized bis-adducts 50 and 51 (Schemes 10 and 11) were prepared as initiator cores for the synthesis of the fullerene dendrimers 62, 63, and 66 (Schemes 12 and 13) by

which shows that the observed regioselectivities of multiple cyclopropanations of C60 are due to orbital-allowed processes. Next to the coefficients of frontier orbitals the characteristic cage distortions of the oligomethanofullerenes are discussed. For further experimental corroboration the synthesis and characterization of an unsymmetrical trisadduct with a I, eI, III*-addition pattern are described

mono-functionalized C60 derivatives, the compound with a [5,6]-open fulleroid addition pattern on the fullerene cage appeared to be considerably less fluorescent than those with a [6,6]-closed cage addition pattern. Despite the disturbance of the electronic structure via multiple additions to the fullerene cage, the multiple-functionalized C60 derivatives exhibited no dramatic changes in fluorescence quantum
Designing and synthesizingfullerenebisadducts with a higher-lying conduction band minimum is promising to further improve the device performance of tin-basedperovskitesolarcells (TPSCs). However, the commonly obtained fullerenebisadduct products are isomeric mixtures and require complicated separation. Moreover, the isomeric mixtures are prone to resulting in energy alignment disorders, interfacial
