Photoinduced electron transfer processes between fullerenes (C60 / C70) and N, N, N, N tetra - ( p-methylphenyl ) - 4, 4 diamino - 1, 1- diphenyl ether ( TPDAE ) have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis....Photoinduced electron transfer processes between fullerenes (C60 / C70) and N, N, N, N tetra - ( p-methylphenyl ) - 4, 4 diamino - 1, 1- diphenyl ether ( TPDAE ) have been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. Quantum yields and rate constants of electron transfer from TPDAE to excited triplet state of fullerenes (C60 / C70 ) in benzonitrile have been evaluated by observing the transient absorption bands in the near-IR region where the excited triplet state, radical anion of fullerenes ( C60 / C70 ) and radical cations of TPDAE appear.展开更多

On the contrary, devices using chiral(R)-(1 R,2 S,5 R)-2 a and(S)-(1 R,2 S,5 R)-2 a, showed PCE as 1.08% and 1.10%, respectively. The main origin of the differences in PCE was found to be their poor Jsc values. The results indicate that the aggregation state might influence the interaction state with P3 HT and impact the results of the OPV properties, Jsc values in particular.展开更多

If x=0 and 6, they are insulators, and if x=3, they have the largest conductivities. When the temperatures go down to 18K for solid K<sub>x</sub>C<sub>60</sub> and 28K for solid Rb<sub>x</sub>C<sub>60</sub>, they are transferred into superconductors. These results are very interesting. Solids K<sub>x</sub>C<sub>60</sub> and Rb<sub>x</sub>C<sub>60</sub> are very unstable when being exposed to air, so for practical purposes, it had better be synthesized to the metal-containing fullerenes MC<sub>60</sub> in which the metal atom M is at the center of C<sub>60</sub>.

About 10 mg of sample was needed for each combustion experiment.The energy equivalent of this calorimeter was determmed with electric energy. The standard diviation of mean from 5 measurements was 0.02 %.The enthalpies of combustion of pure C60 and C70 were determined, kJ. mol-1,kJ·mol. The enthalpies of formation of the two compounds were derived. Using the Laidlertype bond parameters for aromatic hydrocarbons, the estimated strain energies in C60 and C70 molecules were close each other and close to the estimated value from the model compound, corannulene.展开更多
