title: Supramolecular association behavior of a strong C60 receptor with conjugated pentacene and tetrathiafulvalene moieties in solution and in the solid state.
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.
