Nitrogen-doped molecular bowls as electron donors in photoinduced electron transfer reactions
Olga A. Stasyuk, Anton J. Stasyuk, Miquel Solà, Alexander A. Voityuk
Abstract
The propensity of fullerene complex to photoinduced electron transfer is determined by electron-donating properties of the bowl. More extended π-conjugated molecular bowls with nitrogen atom in pentagonal rings promote faster charge separation.
