Radical ion pair mediated triplet formation in polymer-fullerene blend films

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Oct 1:(37):3939-41. doi: 10.1039/b608832e. Epub 2006 Aug 8.

Abstract

Efficient triplet formation is observed for films of high ionisation potential polythiophenes blended with a fullerene derivative, and assigned to formation via geminate charge recombination of bound radical ion pair states.
