Photorefractive Materials

We have synthesized a novel trinitrofluorene–C60 dyads bearing a flexible polyether chain. There is no interaction in their ground states and is proven the existence of a charge-transfer complex between the trinitrofluorene moieties and N-ethylcarbazol. Tetrahedron 62 (2006) 2102–2109

We have reported for the first time the capability of phthalocyanines to efficiently sensitize low glass transition temperature (Tg) poly(N-vinylcarbazole)-based composites for high-performance photorefractivity (PR). Chem. Mater., 2009, 21 (13), pp 2714–2720
