We report the Negishi coupling based synthesis of 1,2,3-tri(9-anthryl)benzene derivatives, containing three radially arranged anthracenes in a π-cluster. In the crystalline state of the unsubstituted derivative, intermolecular π-π and CH-π interactions between the anthracene units drive the formation of a two-dimensional packing structure. Owing to though-space π-conjugation between anthracene units, the substances have unique electronic properties. The excited state dynamic behavior occurring between the three radially arranged anthracene moieties, such as exciton localization/delocalization, was elucidated by means of transient absorption measurements and quantum chemical calculations. Interestingly, even though the three anthracenes are closely oriented with a ca. 3.0 Å distances between their C-9 positions, exciton localization on two anthracene units is energetically favorable because of the flexible nature of the radially arranged aromatic rings.

Electron transfer processes occurring through-space and through-bond were studied for novel mechanically linked triad [2]rotaxanes, which contain a porphyrin (MP) unit as a pendant and [60]fullerene ( C 60) and triphenylamine ( TPA ) moieties as stopper groups at the axle ends (abbreviated as ( MP ; C 60- TPA ) rot+ with MP = H 2 P or ZnP . The photophysical properties were investigated by means of time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption measurements with changing solvent polarity. The charge separation took place mainly via(1 MP *; C 60- TPA ) rot+ and ( MP ;1 C 60*- TPA ) rot + in polar solvents. Within the charge-separated states of triads ( MP ; C 60- TPA ) rot +, hole-shift and/or back electron transfer took place competitively. The lifetime of the charge separation state of ( ZnP ; C 60- TPA ) rot+ was similar to that of dyad ( C 60- TPA ) rot+ (140 ns in dimethylformamide), whereas that of ( H 2 P ; C 60- TPA ) rot + was as long as 230 ns, suggesting two final charge separation states such as ( MP ; C 60•-- TPA •+) rot + and ( MP •+; C 60•-- TPA ) rot+ depending on the kind of porphyrin.

AbstractIn this review, noncovalent functionalization of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is briefly reviewed. The functional materials summarized here include metalloporphyrin derivatives, biomolecules and conjugated polymers. Notably, time-resolved spectroscopic techniques such as time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption were employed to directly investigate the electron transfer and recombination processes between the functionalities and the SWCNTs. In addition, Raman spectroscopy is also useful to identify the interaction and the electron transfer direction between both the functionalities and the SWCNTs. An improved understanding of the mechanisms of these SWCNT-based nanohybrids in terms of their structural and photophysical properties can provide more insights into the design of new electronic materials.

AbstractA contactless spatially resolved measurement of bulk free-carrier lifetime in polycrystalline silicon ingots was accomplished using optically modulated free-carrier infrared absorption. Using a CW Nd:YAG laser (λ = 1.319 μm) for a probe and novel pulsed, tunable, infrared dye laser (λ = 1.10 to 1.13 μm) with photon energies near the Si bandgap, for a pump, the free-carrier lifetime was determined from transient absorption measurements to a maximum depth of 3.0 cm from the surface of an ingot. The spatial dependence of the free-carrier lifetime and the distribution of precipitates (determined from infrared probe transmission measurements) measured along the growth axis of an ingot were found to be strongly related to the spatial dependence of the I–V characteristics of large area solar cells fabricated from the subsequently wafered ingot.
