Self-assembled naphthalenediimide derivative films for light-assisted electrochemical reduction of oxygen

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 May 21;47(19):5581-3. doi: 10.1039/c1cc10139k. Epub 2011 Apr 4.

Abstract

This naphthalene diimide derivative, DC18, forms highly conjugated semiconducting stacked assemblies over electrodes after electrochemical conditioning. These molecular materials are very efficient towards electrochemical photoreduction of oxygen under visible light.
