Abstract

The improvement of dissociation of singlet excitons by electron or hole capturing species like C 60 is essential for efficient photovoltaic cells based on conjugated systems. We investigate the charge transfer in blends of methyl-substituted ladder type poly-(paraphenylene) (m-LPPP) with new well soluble C 60 derivatives, which are characterized by sidegroups of different electronic properties (donor, acceptor nature). It is shown, that the electronic properties of the C 60 sidegroups strongly influence the efficiency of the charge transfer in these blends and hence significant different behaviours in the photocurrent and photoinduced absorption is observed.
