Abstract: ESR technique was used to investigate intermolecular electron transfer reaction between C60 and triethylamine (Et3N). Photocatalysis of hypocrellin (HB) for the above electron transfer reaction was also discussed in this paper. Intermediates produced in the electron transfer reaction system of Et3N/C60/HB were directly confirmed by ESR method. The experimental results illustrated that HB acted as a photocatalyst and electron transfer reaction from Et3N to ground state C60 at room temperature could be realized through two-step electron transfer pathway.
