Fullerene C60 as a superefficient quencher of singlet exited states of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Hybrid Molecules Based on Fullerene C60 and Dithienylethenes. Synthesis and Photochromic Properties. Optically Controlled Organic Field-Effect Transistors

Hybrid molecules based on fullerene C₆₀ and dithienylethene and its perfluorinated analog not inferior in the efficiency of phototransformations to the initial photochromic compounds were synthesized for the first time. The resulting pyrrolidinofullerenes containing photochromic moieties were used to fabricate organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with output and transfer characteristics ten times exceeding similar characteristics of devices based on staring dithienylethenes. It was found that OFETs based on hybrid molecules with dithienylethenes are four times less efficient than devices based on hybrid molecules with perfluorinated analogs.

The effect of fullerenes C60 and C70 on the photo- and triboluminescence of terbium sulphate crystallohydrate in the solid phase

It was found that the addition of C₆₀ and C₇₀ fullerenes to Tb₂(SO₄)₃·8H₂O crystals led to a decrease in the photo- and triboluminescence intensities of the Tb³⁺ ion, without affecting the positions of its luminescence maxima.
