Three-Point Hydrogen Bonding Assembly between a Conjugated PPV and a Functionalized Fullerene

Abstract

A new self-assembly system between a PPV derivative and an organofullerene through a three-point hydrogen-bonding interaction was prepared. The formation of hydrogen bonding was confirmed by 1H NMR studies in CDCl3. Fluorescence quenching experiments indicated that the fluorescence of U-PPV was greatly quenched by DAP-C60 (KSV = 5.8 × 104 M-1).
