| Abstract: | In the search for intramolecular energy and electron transfer phenomena in 60 ] fullerene donor-containing molecules, some electron donor fragments have been covalently linked to the fullerene core. 1 ～4] Only in very fewcases has reliable evidence of thermal or photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer processes been reported. 5]With the aim of promoting an intramolecular electron transfer we sought to develop a novel type of 6-chlorophenazine derivative of 60]fullerene in which the 6-chloro-phenazine core is directly attached by two σ-bonds to the ball giving rise to a different and more rigid spatial orientation of the HOMO of the 6-chloro-phenazine addend with respect to the LUMO of 60]fullerene. |
