SPECTRAL STUDIES OF THE BIS-LINKED TETRATHIAFULVALENES (TTFs) TO [60]FULLERENE.

Results of the first extended spectral investigation of the bis-linked tetrathiafulvalene donors (TTFs) to [60]fullerene are reported. From UV-VIS-NIR-IR spectra it is stated that charge distribution on C60 moiety and on TTFs attachments is disturbed after the adduct formation.This redistribution depends not only on the nature of an attached molecular group but also on the number of bounded donors. In the infrared spectra of the bis-adducts, a particularly strong resonant effect was observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
