Self-Assembly and Characterization of A Novel Hydrogen-Bonded Nanostructure

Abstract
A novel hydrogen-bonded supramolecular system of a [60]fullerene derivative with perylene bisimide was synthesized and characterized. 1H NMR spectra confirmed the existence of strong hydrogen-bonding interaction between compounds 1 and 5. Transmission electron microscopy images of 1·5 aggregates showed spherical particles having a mean diameter of 50 nm. The photocurrent response of the film was measured, and a steady and rapid anodic photocurrent response was obtained.
