Abstract

A π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) containing a conjugated pentacene moiety showed a large binding affinity toward C₆₀ in solution. The crystal structure analysis of the cocrystal formed by this exTTF and C₆₀ revealed that strong π–π interactions existed between C₆₀ and naphthalene and 1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene units.
