Photoinduced Processes between Pyrene-Functionalized Silicon Nanocrystals and Carbon Allotropes

Photoinduced Processes between Pyrene-Functionalized Silicon Nanocrystals and Carbon Allotropes

Two families of strongly luminescent silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) cofunctionalized with dodecyl chains and pyrene chromophores perform as light-harvesting antennae and interact with carbon allotropes. The energy harvested in the SiNC core can thus be used to populate, for example, the lowest triplet...

Description
Summary:Two families of strongly luminescent silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) cofunctionalized with dodecyl chains and pyrene chromophores perform as light-harvesting antennae and interact with carbon allotropes. The energy harvested in the SiNC core can thus be used to populate, for example, the lowest triplet excited state of C60.
