Abstract

Solubilized fullerene derivatives have revolutionized the development of organic photovoltaic devices, but the isomeric complexity that arises from addition of the solubilizing group is often ignored. In article number 2004115, Matthew J. Fuchter and co-workers separate 10 pairs of enantiomers from the 19 structural isomers of a common fullerene acceptor. They demonstrate the potential to discriminate circularly polarized light with a fast light-response time and with a very high photocurrent dissymmetry factor, enabled by a chiral fullerene.
