Synthesis and structural and electronic properties of the octaethylporphyrin–dihexylbithiophene–fullerene derivatives (OEP–DHBTh–C60) connected with diacetylene linkage

Orientational isomers of the octaethylporphyrin–dihexylbithiophene–fullerene derivative (OEP–DHBTh–C60) connected with the diacetylene linkage were synthesized. The electronic and electrochemical properties were studied, proving that the orientation of DHBTh affects not only the electronic structures of OEP–DHBTh–C60 but also their molecular motional behaviors evidently.
