The covalent incorporation of C60 into one block of a poly(1,4-(2,5-dioctyloxy)phenylene vinylene)-based diblock copolymer resulted in a donor–acceptor diblock copolymer, which demonstrated a very efficient electron transfer upon excitation of the PPV block. The strong quenching of the photoluminescence from the PPV block indicated an efficient electron transfer at the donor–acceptor interface.

Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy of the homopolymers and di- and triblock copolymers of 2-naphthylethylisocyanide (7), 9-anthrylethylisocyanide (10), and 2-phenanthrylethylisocyanide (11) exhibit emission from the isolated chromophores, i.e., naphthyl, anthryl, or phenanthryl, upon excitation at 284 or 354 nm. The absence of excimer emission in the fluorescence spectra of all these homopolymers is indicative of a rigid polymeric backbone. Fluorescence quenching in diblock copolymers containing a dimethylaniline donor block and a naphthalene or anthracene acceptor block takes place through directional energy migration to the acceptor–quencher interface. The migrating excited state is then quenched at the interface either by photoinduced electron transfer in the anthracene–dimethylaniline diblock copolymer or by exciplex formation in the naphthalene–dimethylaniline diblock copolymer. Upon incorporation of an intervening block derived from pentamethylphenylethylisocyanide 8, exciplex formation is suppressed in the related triblock copolymer. Transient absorption spectra of this family of di- and triblock copolymers reveal the formation of radical ion pairs, with a lifetime of 1.1 μs in the anthracene–dimethylaniline diblock copolymer. Keywords: electron transfer, energy migration, excimer emission, polyisocyanides, block copolymers.

An electron donor–acceptor supramolecular complex was formed between an anionic zinc chlorin carboxylate ( ZnCh -) and lithium-ion-encapsulated [60]fullerene ( Li +@ C 60) by an electrostatic interaction in benzonitrile ( PhCN ). Photoinduced electron transfer in the supramolecular complex of ZnCh -/ Li +@ C 60 resulted in the formation of the charge-separated state via electron transfer from the triplet excited state of ZnCh - to Li +@ C 60. We report herein photovoltaic cells using ZnCh -/ Li +@ C 60 nanoclusters, which are assembled on the optically transparent electrode (OTE) of nanostructured SnO 2 (OTE/ SnO 2). The photoelectrochemical behavior of the nanostructured SnO 2 film of supramolecular nanoclusters of ZnCh - and Li +@ C 60 denoted as OTE/ SnO 2/( ZnCh -/ Li +@ C 60)n is significantly higher than the single component films of ZnCh - or Li +@ C 60 clusters, denoted as OTE/ SnO 2/( ZnCh -)n or OTE/ SnO 2/( Li +@ C 60)n.
