Metal-chelating capacities attached to fullerenes

New pyrrolidine and pyrroline derivatives of fullerenes: from the synthesis to the use in light-converting systems

“…Several fullerene derivatives containing pyridyl or imidazole groups, which readily form complexes with zinc and ruthenium porphyrinates, were characterized. The solution properties of coordinatively bonded systems formed by fullerene derivatives contain ing chelating groups and various metal containing elec tron donating molecules were studied in detail (see, for example, Refs 19,58,and 59). The association constants of the components were determined.…”

Face‐to‐Face Alignment of Porphyrin/Fullerene Nanowires Linked by Axial Metal Coordination

“…Up to now, a great variety of porphyrin/fullerene family, from dyads, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] triads [19][20][21][22][23] to oligomers, [24][25] which involved covalent or noncovalent linkages have been widely constructed and used to adjust the distance and orientation between porphyrin and fullerene unit for efficient PET. There are mainly two alignments between porphyrin and fullerene units: one is parallel face-to-face alignment, another is perpendicular edge-to-face alignment.…”

Synthesis of Conjugates Based on Fullerene C60 and meso-Tetraphenyl­porphyrins with Long Chain Substituents

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Fullerene derivatives have valuable properties and can find practical application in various fields of science and technology as a new chromatographic carriers, liquid crystals, catalysts, dyes, superfirm composites, various conductors, molecular ferromagnets. [1] Application of water-soluble derivatives of fullerene in medicine is rather perspective.…”

“…Since fullerenes linked to porphyrins can produce a long-lived chargeseparated state with a high quantum yield in comparison with other known types of donor-acceptor complexes, they are useful candidates to build molecular and supramolecular devices and artificial light energy harvesting systems with unique electronic and magnetic properties. [1,12] One of the most quickly developing directions is connected with the synthesis and study of fullerenecontaining thermotropic liquid crystals (LC) -a new class of nanostructured materials. C 60 does not behave as a mesogenic unit.…”

“…The structure of Ni and Cu complexes of 2-formyl-5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(p-tetradecyloxyphenyl)porphyrin (2, 3) was determined by 1 …”
