Photoinduced Electron Transfer from a Conducting Polymer to Buckminsterfullerene

Sariciftci, N. S., Smilowitz, L., Heeger, A. J., Wudl, F.·1992·Science

Abstract

Evidence for photoinduced electron transfer from the excited state of a conducting polymer onto buckminsterfullerene, C 60 , is reported. After photo-excitation of the conjugated polymer with light of energy greater than the π- π* gap, an electron transfer to the C 60 molecule is initiated. Photoinduced optical absorption studies demonstrate a different excitation spectrum for the composite as compared to the separate components, consistent with photo-excited charge transfer. A photoinduced electron spin resonance signal exhibits signatures of both the conducting polymer cation and the C 60 anion. Because the photoluminescence in the conducting polymer is quenched by interaction with C 60 , the data imply that charge transfer from the excited state occurs on a picosecond time scale. The charge-separated state in composite films is metastable at low temperatures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
