Preparation and characterization of three new charge transfer complexes of C60-tetracyanoethyleneoxide with tetrathiafulvalene derivatives

As shown by its electrochemical properties, the title fullerene derivative is better an acceptor than C60 itself. Therefore, it is able to easily form CTC with organic donors related to the tetrathiafulvalene series. Three CT complexes have been characterized by FT1R, VIS reflectance spectra and X-ray diffraction method.
