Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) have attracted considerable attention because of their unique properties. The excited states of CPP2+ were investigated by transient absorption measurements. Naphthalenediimide (NDI) is among the most widely explored components for n-type materials. By applying femtosecond laser flash photolysis, an investigation was conducted to exhibit the electron transfer from excited NDI radical anion in intensely interacting molecules. Fullerene anions have attracted wide interest due to their relevant performances in organic devices. Thus, femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy was employed to directly describe the excited states and photoinduced electron transfer of fullerene dianions.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This research focuses on the excited ions as the untapped novel energy precursors instead of the traditional excited neutral species. Reactions from the excited states of ions, which act as super redox reagents, were examined to uncover new pathways for harnessing sunlight in molecular devices.
