A novel BF 2-chelated azadipyrromethene-fullerene dyad: Synthesis, electrochemistry and photodynamics

Abstract

The synthesis, structure, electrochemistry and photodynamics of a BF 2-chelated azadipyrromethene-fullerene dyad are reported in comparison with BF 2-chelated azadipyrromethene without fullerene. The attachment of fullerene resulted in efficient generation of the triplet excited state of the azadipyrromethene via photoinduced electron transfer.
