Time-resolved, pulsed-laser photoacoustic calorimetry has been utilized to investigate the photophysics of the fullerene C70 in benzene and toluene solutions at room temperature for excitation at three wavelengths from 337 to 510 nm. Analysis of the data indicates that C70 exhibits wavelength-independent population of T1: Φisc = 0.97 ± 0.03. Data taken in the presence of the quencher oxygen show that C70(T1) is an efficient, but not quantitative, sensitizer for singlet oxygen: SΔ = 0.89 ± 0.04. |
