Molecular and supramolecular C60–oligophenylenevinylene conjugates

Abstract

Fullerene derivatives are attractive building blocks for the preparation of molecular and supramolecular photoactive devices. As a part of this research, combination of C₆₀ with oligophenylenevinylene (OPV) subunits has generated significant research efforts. These results are summarized in the present account to illustrate the current state-of-the-art of fullerene chemistry for the development of new photoactive materials.
