The synthesis of new C 60 -acceptor and C 60 -donor dyads 6؊8 MOs of the neutral species or the SOMOs of the singly reduced species. Whereas the anthraquinone moiety in 6 is a we-by facile and irreversible [4+2]cycloadditions of anthraquinone-and anthraquinodimethane-based dienes with C 60 , as aker acceptor than C 60 , the introduction of the more electron-withdrawing cyanoimino groups at the 9,10-positions of well as by direct oxidative amination of C 60 with N,NЈ-dimethyl-o-phenylenediamine is described. The complete the anthracene unit in the dyad 7 causes the first reduction to take place on the addend. This experimental and compu-electrochemical characterization and ESR-spectroscopic data of the C 60 -acceptor dyads allows an unambiguous assign-tational study has shown that both the C 60 -acceptor dyad 7 and the C 60 -donor dyad 8 are suitable precursors for the syn-ment of the location of each reduction step to one or other of the electroactive groups. The locations of the first oxidation thesis of the proposed type-D triads, which contain both a donor and an acceptor building block attached to the fulle-and reduction events in all type A and -B systems investigated in this study correspond to the PM3-calculated HO-rene core in a stereochemically defined arrangement.
