Abstract:
The complex of [10]cycloparaphenylene ([10] CPP) with bis(azafullerene) (C 59 N) 2 is investigated experimentally and computationally. Two [10]CPP rings are bound to the dimeric azafullerene giving [10] CPP⊃(C 59 N) 2 ⊂[10]CPP. Photophysical and redox properties support an electronic interaction between the components especially when the second [10] CPP is bound. Unlike [10]CPP⊃C 60 , in which there is negligible electronic communication between the two species, upon photoexcitation a partial charge transfer phenomenon is revealed between [10]CPP and (C 59 N) 2 reminiscent of CPP‐encapsulated metallofullerenes. Such an alternative electron‐rich fullerene species demonstrates C 60 ‐like ground‐state properties and metallofullerene‐like excited‐state properties opening new avenues for construction of functional supramolecular architectures with organic materials.
