Photoinduced charge separation and charge recombination of fullerene bearing dendritic poly(amidoamine) with carboxylates at the terminal in aqueous media.
Photoinduced charge separation of fullerodendrimers with carboxylates at terminal sites (C60 approximately COO-) has been found in aqueous media. Time-resolved transient absorption and fluorescence measurements of the fullerodendrimers demonstrated that charge separation takes place from the terminal carboxylate anion to the central excited singlet state of C60, generating C60*- approximately COO* with high quantum efficiency in aqueous solution. In the presence of viologen dication and a sacrificial donor, the persistent viologen radical cation was generated.
