TLDR
In this paper, the metastable, reversible, photoinduced electron transfer between semiconducting polymers and buckminsterfullerene is reviewed. And the importance of electron-phonon coupling in these low-dimensional semiconductor polymers, resulting in structural relaxation upon photoexcitation, is proposed to contribute to the stabilization of the charge-separated state.

Photoinduced electron transfer from a conducting polymer to buckminsterfullerene.

TL;DR: Because the photoluminescence in the conducting polymer is quenched by interaction with C60, the data imply that charge transfer from the excited state occurs on a picosecond time scale.
