Click-assembled N-graphene-C₆₀ hybrids for ultrafast electron transfer.

ABSTRACT: A novel donor-acceptor hybrid derived from N-doped graphene (NG) and an electron acceptor, C₆₀, has been newly synthesized using click chemistry and characterized by a suite of physico-chemical techniques. The usage of click chemistry resulted in a relatively high degree of functionalization. Due to the presence of two C₁₂ alkyl chains on the fulleropyrrolidine moiety, the NG-C₆₀ hybrid was found to be relatively soluble in most organic solvents, facilitating both spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization. Fluorescence studies revealed quenching of the fulleropyrrolidine emission, indicating the occurrence of excited-state events. While DFT studies provided insights into the geometry and localization of the frontier orbitals, the TD-DFT studies per
