Abstract

Herein, we investigate the association of a fullerene fragment, hemifullerene CH, with an electron-donating bowl-shaped tetrathiafulvalene derivative (truxTTF). UV/Vis titrations and DFT calculations support formation of the supramolecular complex, for which an association constant of log K=3.6±0.3 in CHCl at room temperature is calculated. Remarkably, electron transfer from truxTTF to CH to form the fully charge-separated species takes place upon irradiation of the associate with light, constituting the first example in which a fullerene fragment mimics the electron-accepting behavior of fullerenes within a supramolecular complex.
