| abstract |
One aspect of the invention relates to compositions comprising one or more fullerene derivatives that comprise one or more covalent addends. In certain embodiments, the fullerene derivatives are selected from the group consisting of methanofullerene derivatives, Prato adduct fullerene derivatives, Diels-Alder fullerene derivatives, diazoline fullerene derivatives, Bingel fullerene derivatives, ketolactam fullerene derivatives, and azafulleroid fullerene derivatives. In certain embodiments, the fullerenes are C60 or C70 or a mixture thereof. The invention also relates to semiconductors, photodiodes, solar cells, photodectectors, and transistors comprising one or more fullerene derivatives that comprise one or more covalent addends. |
