Abstract:Through ac ycloaddition reaction, fullerene( C 60 )w as derivatized with an ovel organic compound 5-(benzo [b]thiophen-3-yl)pyridine-3-carbaldehyde to form the processable and stable 3-(benzo [b]thiophene-3yl)-5-fullero-1-methylpyrrolidinepyridine (BTFP) compound. BTFP exhibits close similarities to phenyl-C61-butyric-acid-methyl-ester (PCBM)i nt erms of first reduction potentialv alues (À0.62 and À0.61 Vv s. Ag/AgCl, for BTFP and PCBM, respectively)a nd lowest occupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level va… Show more
