title: DNA-assisted photoinduced charge transfer between a cationic poly(phenylene vinylene) and a cationic fullerene.
abstract: Water-soluble cationic conjugated poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and cationic fullerene were complexed with negatively charged single stranded DNA and double stranded DNA via electrostatic interactions to achieve photoinduced charge transfer with efficiencies as high as those observed from oppositely charged, cationic PPV and anionic fullerene but with distinctly different quenching mechanisms.
