Cooperativity between pi-pi and H-bonding interactions-a supramolecular complex formed by C60 and exTTF.
A highly stable supramolecular complex from C60 and exTTF (Ka approximately 10(6) M(-1)) has been achieved by means of pi-pi and H-bonding interactions; experimental evidence reveals the formation of a radical-ion pair (tau = 9.3 ps) upon photoexcitation.
