Long-lived charge separation in a rigid pentiptycene bis(crown ether)-Li(+)@C60 host-guest complex.
We report long-lived charge separation in a highly rigid host-guest complex of pentiptycene bis(crown ether) and Li(+)@C60, in which the pentiptycene framework is actively involved as an electron donor in a photoinduced electron-transfer process to the excited states of Li(+)@C60 through a rigid distance in the complex.
