44. As an additional combination of azulene with a strong electron acceptor and because fullerene derivatives are currently one of the most promising electron acceptors for organic photovoltaic applications, an azulene-fullerene dyad 5 (see Section II, Supporting Information and Experimental Section) was also targeted.

106. Note that 2-(4-(phenylethynyl)phenyl)azulene was not available as a model compound and would presumably show somewhat changed features as EPA. Modelling of the spectrum of 2 from the spectra of EPA and the parent BDP chromophore was thus not attempted.

110. Because 3a had to be employed as reference compound for the lifetime (determined to 5.17 ns) and the fluorescence quantum yield (determined to 0.08) of the unperturbed donor and because 3 showed traces of decomposition during the fluorescence lifetime measurements, the uncertainty of these data is larger than in the case of 2.
