Small reorganisation energy and unique stabilisation of zwitterionic C60-acceptor moieties.
Fulleropyrrolidine- and fulleropyrrolidinium-based donor-acceptor ensembles, C60-Fc, were tested in view of intrinsic reorganisation energies for light-induced electron transfer events; overall, the zwitterionic character of the reduced fulleropyrrolidinium acceptor plays a central role in accelerating charge separation and decelerating charge recombination.
