Abstract

In this paper, we report on the design, redox potentials, excited state energies and radical ion pair state energies in electron donor-acceptor conjugates comprising the electron-donating π-extended tetrathiafulvalene and several electron-accepting fullerenes. To this end, we contrast an empty fullerene, that is, C₆₀, with two endohedral metallofullerenes, that is, open-shell La@C₈₂ and closed-shell La₂@C₈₀, in terms of charge separation and charge recombination dynamics.

Keywords: electron transfer; fullerene; metallofullerene
