AB Carbon nanodots (CNDs) undergo electron transfer in different scenarios. Previous studies have mainly focused on the electron-accepting features of CNDs in covalently linked donor–acceptor nanoconjugates. In view of this, we decided to carry out in this study the formation of covalently linked nanoconjugates that feature electron-donating pressure synthesized carbon nanodots (pCNDs) and electron-accepting 11,11,12,12-tetracyano-9,10-anthra-p-quinodimethane (TCAQ): pCND-TCAQ. The stability of the one-electron reduced form of TCAQ renders it the acceptor of choice. Detailed structural and electrochemical investigations allowed the characterization of pCND-TCAQ. Furthermore, investigations regarding intramolecular interactions, by means of steady-state and pump–probe transient absorption spectroscopies, allowed detection and characterization of three excited state species, in general, and the pCND•+-TCAQ•– charge-separated state, in particular.
