Intermolecular and supramolecular photoinduced electron transfer processes of fullerene–porphyrin/phthalocyanine systems

TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of photoinduced electron transfer reaction rates on the molecular structures of the donor and acceptor entities results in improving the capture and storage of solar energy, and the relation between structures and photochemical reactivities of these novel supramolecular systems are discussed in relation to the efficiency of charge separation and charge recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supramolecular donor–acceptor hybrids of porphyrins/phthalocyanines with fullerenes/carbon nanotubes: electron transfer, sensing, switching, and catalytic applications

TL;DR: Extension of the self-assembly approaches to single wall carbon nanotubes results in SWNT-porphyrin/phthalocyanine nanohybrids capable of undergoing photoinduced electron transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoinduced electron transfer in supramolecular systems of fullerenes functionalized with ligands capable of binding to zinc porphyrins and zinc phthalocyanines

TL;DR: In this paper, a review describes light induced energy or electron transfer reactions in self-assembled supramolecular zinc porphyrin/zinc phthalocyanine and fullerene bearing donor-acceptor systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemically synthesized polymers in molecular imprinting for chemical sensing

TL;DR: Recent achievements in analytical applications of electrosynthesized molecularly imprinted polymers applied as recognition elements of chemical sensors are highlighted, including present strategies of determination of different analytes as well as identification and solutions for problems encountered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrocatalytic Properties and Sensor Applications of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes

TL;DR: The electrochemical behavior of fullerene and its derivatives are reviewed with special reference to their catalytic and sensor applications in this article, where the potential for the preparation of electrochemical sensors and their application in electroanalytical chemistry are highlighted.
