Research Abstract |
Endohedral metallofullerenes are very attractive because of its unique electronic properties. Chemical modification is helpful to design nano carbon molecules having the novel function. Firstly, I revealed that the charge density and local strain of the fullerene cage are useful indices to decide the addition position of the substituent. To functionalize the endohedral metallofullerene, the novel electron donor-acceptor conjugate consisted of endohedral metallofullerene and zinc porphyrin was theoretically designed and its properties were investigated. This conjugate was predicted to induce the intramolecular charge separation by photoexcitation.
