Abstract.
The photophysical properties of the first crown ether-bearing [60]fulleropyrrolidine (CFP) have been studied. The absorption and fluorescence spectra are hypsochromically shifted by metal ions complexation via intramolecular electron transfer which is confirmed by AMI computation. The third-order optical nonlinearity of CFP is measured by time-resolved degenerate four-wave-mixing experiment. The third-order optical susceptibility χ(3) of CFP is 8.97×10−14 esu. The nonlinear optical temporal response is second-order exponential, the fast process is determined as 120 ps.
