The Effect of Structural Conformational Changes on Charge Transfer States in a Light-Harvesting Carotenoid-diaryl-Porphyrin-C60 Molecular Triad [PDF]
, 2013 We present a detailed study of charge transfer (CT) excited states for a large number of structural conformations in a light-harvesting Carotenoid-diaryl-Porphyrin-C60 (CPC60) molecular triad. The molecular triad undergoes a photoinduced charge transfer process exhibiting a large excited state dipole moment, making it suitable for application to ...
