title: Spectroscopic study on the photoinduced reaction of fullerene C60 with aliphatic amines and its dynamics--strong short wavelength fluorescence from the adducts.
abstract: The photoinduced electron donor acceptor interactions of C60 with eight kinds of aliphatic amines, namely dicthylamine (DEA), triethylamine (TEA), tri-n-amylamine (TAA), propylethylamine (PPA), n-butylamine (BTA), n-heptylamine (HPA) and dodecylamine (DDA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) are reported by a comprehensive spectroscopic study. Experiments show that there is a good discipline with different structure and the length of n-alkyl group both in their ground and excited states. At the same time, a slow reaction takes place between C60 and various amines with a gradual increase in the concentration of various aliphatic amines or the standing of solution, which can be dramatically catalyzed by UV-radiation. The final products can all emit a strong fluorescence at the relatively shorter wavelength around 519 nm. On this basis, the dynamic properties of C60/aphaliticamines including the enthalpy of activation (deltaH++et) and entropy activation (deltaS++et), together with all sorts of influence factors are firstly investigated in this work. The possible reaction mechanisms are explored, also.
