Synthesis and Fluorescence Properties of a Novel Supramolecular Complex Containing [60]Fullerene Moiety

Abstract

A new crown ether styryl dye containing [60]Fullerene moiety has been synthesized, and characterized by FT-IR, NMR and Mass spectra. Fluorescence spectra of the compound have also been studied. The results indicate a strong hypsochromic shift from 548 nm to 526 nm is observed on cation complexation, and the intensity of peaks at 504 nm, 548 nm and 590 nm decrease as the metal cation concentration is increased at 77K.
