Photoinduced electron and energy transfer in C60-based conjugated oligomer containing dyads and triads

In a novel series of soluble C 60 -conjugated oligomer dyads and triads both singlet-singlet energy transfer and intramolecular electron transfer were found to take place and to compete with each other.
