Efficient Charge Separation in C60-Based Dyads: Triazolino[4‘,5‘:1,2][60]fullerenes

Abstract
Triazoline[4,5][60]fullerenes are strong electron acceptors that form with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), a novel type of donor−acceptor dyad exhibiting efficient improved electron-transfer dynamics. In particular, a rapid photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer, forming a charge-separated state, is followed by a slow charge recombination to generate the fullerene triplet excited state in moderate quantum yields.
