Self-assembly and characterization of a novel hydrogen-bonded nanostructure
A novel hydrogen-bonded supramolecular system of a [60]fullerene derivative with perylene bisimide was synthesized and characterized. H-1 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.
