| Abstract | The photophysical properties of fullerene hybrid systems in which disymmetrically substituted linear oligophenyleneethynylene (OPE) substituents have been attached to C60 through a pyrrolidine ring are discussed. These hybrid systems differ in both the length of the conjugated OPE backbone and in the type of terminating groups employed, i.e. tri-isopropylsilane (–Si(iPr)3) and N,N-di-n-butylaniline (PhN(nBu)2). The terminating group is found to be crucial in determining the fate of light absorbed by the hybrid. In CH2Cl2 and benzonitrile, the PhN(nBu)2 terminated hybrids undergo electron transfer with charge separation lasting as long as 390 ns in the more polar medium, as detected via near-infrared transient absorption spectroscopy. Under the same conditions the Si(iPr)3 terminated hybrids show ultrafast OPE → C60 singlet energy transfer (k = 109–1010 s−1) followed by regular deactivation of the C60 moiety, as determined via UV-VIR-NIR steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy. Only in polar benzonitrile such systems can undergo electron transfer to some extent (40% yield). The results here presented can be readily explained in light of the electrochemical properties of the hybrids. The low oxidation potentials of the PhN(nBu)2 terminated systems allow the formation of low lying charge separated states (∼1.45 eV) which, in Si(iPr)3 terminated analogues, are shifted substantially upward (∼1.90 eV) and become hardly accessible via direct excitation or sensitization of the C60 singlet level (1.72 eV). These results, when examined in light of the performance of photovoltaic devices using these hybrids as active materials, show a nice structure–activity relationship supporting the appeal of the so-called molecular approach to photovoltaic devices. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
