Energy, supramolecular chemistry, fullerenes, and the sky

Abstract: The search for cleaner and more abundant sources of energy is one of the major scientific challenges of the 21 st century. Owing to its privileged position as the central science, chemistry is bound to play a leading role in this quest. Within the search for new materials for organic photovoltaics, some of the work we have carried out concerning the supramolecular chemistry of electron donor and acceptor molecules is presented.

“…Thousands of papers are devoted to application of fullerenes. They are used in creation of liquid and solid compositions possessing useful properties, in biochemistry and biomedicine, ,,− analytical chemistry, , and many other fields. To specify or even to list here the areas of utilization of fullerenes is an impossibility.…”

“…From this point of view, π-extended donor systems such as the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) are attractive molecules; they adopt a butterfly shape at the neutral state, while the corresponding dications adopt a twisted conformation that help the interaction with the spherical shape of the fullerene ( Figure 2) [39]. This class of molecules has been used in the construction of hosts for fullerenes using aromatic π-π-stacking interactions between the surface of fullerenes and the extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Therefore, the design and investigation of new recognition molecules based on zirconium (IV) metallocavitands having TTF units will undoubtedly push forward the development of metallocavitands as hosts for fullerenes.…”
