Self-assembly and characterization of a novel hydrogen-bonded nanostructure

J Phys Chem B. 2004 May 20;108(20):6256-60. doi: 10.1021/jp0373853.

Abstract

A novel hydrogen-bonded supramolecular system of a [60]fullerene derivative with perylene bisimide was synthesized and characterized. 1H NMR spectra confirmed the existence of strong hydrogen-bonding interaction between compounds 1 and 5. Transmission electron microscopy images of 1.5 aggregates showed spherical particles having a mean diameter of 50 nm. The photocurrent response of the film was measured, and a steady and rapid anodic photocurrent response was obtained.
