Abstract

New penta(organo)fullerenes donor-acceptor systems bearing five tetrathiafulvalene recognition units have been synthesized to promote self-assemblies similar in appearance to shuttlecocks nested into each other thanks to the conical host cavity created around the fullerene together with the π-π and electronic interactions.

Keywords: donor-acceptor system; fullerenes; self-assembly; supramolecular polymer; tetrathiafulvalene.
