Photoinduced electron transfer in nano-Saturn complexes of fullerene

The photoinduced electron transfer is studied computationally in several Saturn-shaped inclusion complexes of carbo-aromatic rings and C 60 fullerene - C 72 ⊃C 60 , C 96 ⊃C 60 , C 120 ⊃C 60 , and C 168 ⊃C 60 . Analysis of their structural and electronic properties shows that the charge separation pr...

Zusammenfassung:The photoinduced electron transfer is studied computationally in several Saturn-shaped inclusion complexes of carbo-aromatic rings and C 60 fullerene - C 72 ⊃C 60 , C 96 ⊃C 60 , C 120 ⊃C 60 , and C 168 ⊃C 60 . Analysis of their structural and electronic properties shows that the charge separation process is efficient in C 120 ⊃C 60 and C 168 ⊃C 60 where the host molecule resembles the conjugated [24]circulene unit. In contrast, the electron transfer is not feasible in the complexes of the oligophenylene-based rings C 72 ⊃C 60 and C 96 ⊃C 60 . The photoinduced electron transfer is studied computationally in several Saturn-shaped inclusion complexes of carbo-aromatic rings and C 60 fullerene - C 72 ⊃C 60 , C 96 ⊃C 60 , C 120 ⊃C 60 , and C 168 ⊃C 60 .
