Abstract
Photoinduced energy and electron transfer in a fullerene-sexithiophene-full erene (C-60-6T-C-60) triad in solvents of different polarity is studied usi ng photoinduced absorption (PIA) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. T he polarity of the solvent has an essential role in the formation and stabi lization of a photoinduced charge-separated state. Intramolecular electron transfer is shown to occur in a two-step process, involving singlet-energy transfer prior to charge separation.
