Electrons also travel 1-2 orders of magnitude more slowly in the PDI blend than in the fullerene acceptor, giving them more time to recombine with holes before extraction. Tamai and coworkers have ...

Without a fullerene present, the sandwiching of solvent molecules leads to an interlayer separation of 5.5 Å (15). As expected for a supramolecular association, there are no significant changes in the ...

Fullerene switch: artist’s rendering of a fullerene switch with incoming electron and red laser light pulses. (Courtesy: ©2023 Yanagisawa et al.) Light-induced electron emissions from fullerene, a ...

A unique form of carbon, C60 fullerene is shaped like a soccer ball with carbon atoms located at the vertices of its pentagons and hexagons. Although fullerene molecules boast unique biological ...

A physicist explains. Why isn’t an atom’s nucleus round? Many people know the buckyball, also know as fullerene by scientists, molecule, C60, from the covers of their school chemistry books.

In this paper we report the use of another supramolecular recognition element to manipulate the structures of extended porphyrin systems. It involves the attraction of a fullerene to the center of a ...
