Covalently linked thieno[2,3-b]thiophene-fullerene dimers: synthesis and physical characterization

“…16 The low solubility of C 60 in many solvents can be overcome by adding functional groups to its outer surface to increase solubility. 17 Moreover, the use of fullerene derivatives, which contain diverse functional groups on pristine fullerene, has lately gained popularity. Physiochemical properties, including redox potential, solubility and absorption spectra, can be chemically adjusted by attaching or altering the functional groups on the fullerene surface.…”

“…41,42 Our group is interested in combining fullerene with various donating groups in order to create new molecules with novel electrical and photonic features. 17,43,44 Herein we present a simple synthetic method for preparing two novel thieno [2,3-b]thiophenebridged fullerene dimers via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition under microwave irradiation. The electrochemistry and photochemistry of these two fullerene dimers are reported and compared.…”
