We predicted and verified the intramolecular charge transfer and solvatochromic behavior of carboxymethyl ester-functionalized [10]cycloparaphenylene derivatives, clarifying their optical properties.
A series of FRET systems were constructed through self-assembly between donors and acceptors. Multiple color-tunable emissions containing white-light were achieved and utilized in the fabrication of white-light fluorescent films and LED devices.
MD simulations reveal that oligomers ([10]CPP_Fused⊃C60)24 and ([10]CPP_Fused⊃C60)32 with π-extended CPPs form stable, helix-like structures. The photoinduced electron transfer in these oligomers is favorable and occurs on a nanosecond time scale.
Belt-shaped aromatic compounds are among the most attractive classes of radial π-conjugated nanocarbon molecules. We propose rules for their design with improved electron-donating properties.
Herein, we report the facile synthesis of two novel carbon nanorings based on N-annulated perylene (NP-[n]CPP, n = 9,10). Their photophysical properties and potential application in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were investigated.
