Yy. Huang et al., Langmuir-Blodgett film formation and photocurrent generation of a C-60 pyrrolidine derivative C-60(C8H15NO2), SUPRAMOL SC, 5(5-6), 1998, pp. 457-460
A novel C-60 pyrrolidine derivative, C-60(C8H15NO2) (1), has been synthesiz
ed and its Langmuir and LB films were investigated. The monolayer of 1 can
be transferred on to hydrophilic substrates. Photocurrent generation of the
LB film modified ITO electrode has been measured. The anodic photocurrent
can be suppressed by oxygen and enhanced by the electron donor Vc (ascorbic
acid). The quantum yield is 1.9% with the concentration of Vc at 0.5 mg ml
(-1) in the KCl solution. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Limited. All rights res
