The cap fits! A new class of concave π‐extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, truxene‐TTFs, were prepared and characterized, and their self‐assembly with fullerenes was investigated (see picture). Truxene‐TTFs represent the first example of TTF‐related electron donors that serve, without chemical modification, as monotopic receptors for fullerenes in solution.
