Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of a Sc3N@C80‐Corrole Electron Donor–Acceptor Conjugate

Embedding endohdedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) into electron donor–acceptor systems is still a challenging task owing to their limited quantities and their still largely unexplored chemical properties. In this study, we have performed a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction of a corrole‐based precursor with Sc₃N@C₈₀ to regioselectively form a [5,6]‐adduct ( 1 ). The successful attachment of the corrole moiety was confirmed by mass spectrometry. In the electronic ground state, absorption spectra suggest sizeable electronic communications between the electron acceptor and the electron donor. Moreover, the addition pattern occurring at a [5,6]‐bond junction is firmly proven by NMR spectroscopy and electrochemical investigations performed with 1 . In the electronically excited state, which is probed in photophysical assays with 1 , a fast electron‐transfer yields the radical ion pair state consisting of the one‐electron‐reduced Sc₃N@C₈₀ and of the one‐electron‐oxidized corrole upon its exclusive photoexcitation. As such, our results shed new light on the practical work utilizing EMFs as building blocks in photovoltaics.     

Perturbation analysis for continuous-time Markov chains

We investigate perturbation for continuous-time Markov chains(CTMCs) on a countable state space. Explicit bounds on ?D and D are derived in terms of a drift condition, where ? and D represent the perturbation of the intensity matrices and the deviation matrix, respectively. Moreover, we obtain perturbation bounds on the stationary distributions, which extends the results by Liu(2012) for uniformly bounded CTMCs to general(possibly unbounded) CTMCs. Our arguments are mainly based on the technique of augmented truncations.
