    Perfluoroalkylfullerenes
    (Washington, DC : ACS Publ., 2015) Boltalina, Olga V.; Popov, Alexey A.; Kuvychko, Igor V.; Shustova, Natalia B.; Strauss, Steven H.
    New chemical derivatives that possess the greatest variety of addition patterns than any other class of fullerene derivatives represent an important addition to the existing classes of perfluorocarbons, that is, compounds that are composed only of the two types of atoms, carbon and fluorine. These include aromatic and aliphatic perfluorocarbons such as perfluorodecalin, perfluorononane, hexafluorobenzene, etc., which are important as fluorous solvents used in medicine. The propensity of perfluoroalkylfullerenes (PFAFs) to readily crystallize from organic solutions upon slow evaporation in open air provided a straightforward access to their molecular structures via X-ray crystallography. Another crucial aspect that ensures future success in the characterization of numerous PFAFs of higher fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes is the possibility to apply HPLC methodologies to the separation of product mixtures. PFAFs, especially those of C60 and C70, are unique fullerene derivatives in terms of the number of structurally characterized derivatives with different number of RF groups and different addition patterns.

    Hierarchical Corannulene‐Based Materials: Energy Transfer and Solid‐State Photophysics
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2017-3-23) Rice, Allison M.; Fellows, W. Brett; Dolgopolova, Ekaterina A.; Greytak, Andrew B.; Vannucci, Aaron K.; Smith, Mark D.; Karakalos, Stavros G.; Krause, Jeanette A.; Avdoshenko, Stanislav M.; Popov, Alexey A.; Shustova, Natalia B.
    We report the first example of a donor–acceptor corannulene-containing hybrid material with rapid ligand-to-ligand energy transfer (ET). Additionally, we provide the first time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) data for any corannulene-based compounds in the solid state. Comprehensive analysis of PL data in combination with theoretical calculations of donor–acceptor exciton coupling was employed to estimate ET rate and efficiency in the prepared material. The ligand-to-ligand ET rate calculated using two models is comparable with that observed in fullerene-containing materials, which are generally considered for molecular electronics development. Thus, the presented studies not only demonstrate the possibility of merging the intrinsic properties of π-bowls, specifically corannulene derivatives, with the versatility of crystalline hybrid scaffolds, but could also foreshadow the engineering of a novel class of hierarchical corannulene-based hybrid materials for optoelectronic devices.
