Abstract
Covalent linking of C60 to electron donors is expected to create attra ctive substrates for the study of electron or energy transfer. The suc cessful synthesis of a 4,5-dimethoxy-o-quinodimethane-C60 adduct is de scribed. The unique crystal structure has been determined and the band gap measured by ESCA. One of the most interesting features of the crys tal structure of the mono-adduct is the close contact of one of the me thoxy groups to a neighboring C60, leading to the formation of a chain of interacting fullerene cages.
