The coupling significantly influences the optical absorption properties of the heterostacks comprising merocyanine and perylene bisimide dyes, respectively, and is an indication for coherent energy transfer between the chromophores. In addition, bis(merocyanine)-C60 conjugates have been synthesized, which self-assemble in non-polar solvents resulting in well-defined supramolecular p/n-heterojunctions in solution. These model systems enabled femtosecond transient absorption studies on the photoinduced electron transfer process, which is a key step for the formation of charge carriers in organic solar cells.}, subject = {Exziton}, language = {de} }
