PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY OF [60]FULLERENE DERIVATIVE DOPED PVK

,1',2',2'-tetracyanomethanoxymethano)[60]fullerene has been synthesize d. It exhibits stronger ability of accepting electron than pure [60]fu llerene. A film of PVK doped with 1.6% by weight of this C-60-derivati ve was prepared and characterized. The measured photoinduced discharge curves and the photoconductivity spectra of the film demonstrate that the photoconductivity of PVK doped with this [60]fullerene derivative is higher than that of PVK doped with pure C-60.( ) (C) 1998 Publishe d by Elsevier Science Ltd.
