TL;DR: In this article, three selected classes of C60 fullerenes are investigated by taking advantage of some intrinsic excited state properties of C 60 fullerene such as fluorescence, triplet lifetimes, or sensitized singlet oxygen luminescence.
Abstract: The optical, electrochemical and excited state properties of C60 fullerene and its derivatives, combined with their peculiar structural features, have made them ideal modules for the construction of complex architectures which feature light induced processes. Here are described three selected classes of such systems investigated in our group by taking advantage of some intrinsic excited state properties of C60 fullerenes such as fluorescence, triplet lifetimes, or sensitized singlet oxygen luminescence. Fullerene hybrid assemblies with Cu(I), Ru(II), and Re(I) complexes undergo ultrafast photoinduced electron transfer (PET) upon excitation of the metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer (MLCT) excited states of the metal-complexed moiety. In the case of the Cu(I) system, occurrence of PET by fullerene excitation depends on the specific functionalization of the carbon sphere. Fullerodendrimers equipped with oligophenylenevinylene moieties and showing enhanced or reduced PET as a function of dendrimer structure and ...

TL;DR: Porphyrin-linked fullerenes were prepared by the Diels-Alder reaction of bisbromomethylbenzene derivative to C60.
Abstract: Porphyrin-linked fullerenes were prepared by the Diels-Alder reaction of bisbromomethylbenzene derivative to C60. The absorption spectra and electrochemical measurements indicate that there is little interaction between the porphyrin and the C60 moieties. Intramolecular electron transfer from the excited singlet state of zincporphyrin to C60 was observed by picosecond transient absorption measurements.
