Sf. Wang et al., Transient nonlinear optics of organometallic fullerene: Research on iron(III) and ruthenium(III) derivatives of C-60, J PHYS CH B, 105(44), 2001, pp. 10784-10787
We synthesized and investigated ultrafast third-order optical response of i
ron(III) (Fe(III)) and ruthenium(III) (Ru(III)) coordinated fullerene deriv
atives, which were based on our former reported C-60(NH2CN)(5) series, at 8
30 nm. The Fe(III), which is electron deficient and blocks the intramolecul
ar charge-transfer process, reduces the optical nonlinearity of the complex
es. However. Ru(III), even it is also electron deficient, enhanced the opti
cal nonlinearity for an order of magnitude. By analyzing the infrared spect
rum, a possible effect of linked multi-fullerene molecule system is suppose
