Synthesis and physical properties of new C60 derivatives linked with TTF

New TTF-linked C 60 derivatives were synthesised from the viewpoint of the development of materials with multi-functionality. The electrochemical measurements revealed that the derivatives maintain redox characters of both C 60 and TTF. Obvious new broad bands were observed in the electronic spectra of the C 60 derivatives. This band is attributed to the intramolecular charge transfer between C 60 and TTF.
