Bombesin (BBN) was covalently bound to graftable subphthalocyanine (SubPc) or to a cholesterol derivative, a component of a liposome that encapsulates non-graftable SubPc. The latter bioconjugation approach was suitable to address the stability of SubPc and was achieved by copper-free click-chemistry on the outer-face of the liposome. Liposomes were purified (FPLC) and then analyzed in size (ou...

The theoretical mechanism of open-circuit voltages (VOC) in OSCs based on various small molecule organic materials is studied. The structure under investigation is simple planar heterojunction (PHJ) by thermal vacuum evaporation deposition. The various wide band gaps of small molecule organic materials are used to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE). The donor materials used in the de...

The migration of weakly and non-luminescent (dark) excitons remains an understudied subset of exciton dynamics in molecular thin films. Inaccessible via photoluminescence, these states are often probed using photocurrent methods that require efficient charge collection. Here we probe exciton harvesting in both luminescent and dark materials using a photovoltage-based technique. Transient photov...

Knowledge of the factors controlling excited state dynamics in excitonically coupled dimers and higher aggregates is critical for understanding natural artificial solar energy conversion. In this work, we report ultrafast solvent polarity dependent structurally well-defined subphthalocyanine dimer, ?-OSubPc2. Stationary electronic spectra demonstrate strong exciton coupling Femtosecond transien...

Mechanisms of resonant nonlinear absorption in the hybrid exciton-plasmon systems based on gold nanoparticles and macroheterocyclical compounds are presented. We used novel substituted subphthalocyanines (SubPc) with 14 π-electronic system as powerful excitonic 3 – level systems, and 50 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNp) as plasmonic structures. We succeeded to define mechanisms of resonant nonlinear...
