Abstract

A 2-pyrazolino[60]fullerene-based triad, possessing two TTF units connected with flexible long linkages, has been prepared. Fluorescence quenching was observed in polar and non-polar solvents, suggesting the existence of a through-space photoinduced charge separation process with rates faster than 3.8 × 109 s-1 and with high efficiency (>0.85). The charge separated states were confirmed by transient absorption spectra in the visible and near-IR regions. The longest lifetime of the charge separated state was found to be 230 ns in CH2Cl2 solvent.
