N-Methyl-2-(N-ethylcarbozole)-fulleropyrrolidine and N-methyl-2-(4'-N,N-diphenylamino)-full- eropyrrolidine were synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition under microwave irradiation, which were characterized by MS, ¹H NMR, IR and UV-Vis. Photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer process from C₆₀ moiety to carbazole moiety has been studied by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The charge-separated state C₆₀^•--C_Z^•+ was observed in the near-IR region with its life of 0.28 μs. The electronic spectrum of the C₆₀-TPA was studied by using ZINDO method on the basis of the optimized geometrics with B3LYP/6-31G* program. The results showed that the calculated absorption was beyond 440 nm, essentially consistent with experimental value 433 nm.

Key words: fulleropyrrolidine, nanosecond transient spectra, charge-separated state
