Light illumination of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) dispersed with anthracene (An) dendrons afforded the accumulation of the reduced form of methyl viologen in the presence of a hole shifter. With the helps of the fluorescence lifetime and transient absorption measurements, the charge-separation process from the excited state of the hybrides of An dendrimer to SWCNT was confirmed.
