Two bowl‐shaped molecules of complementary electronic character, a donor truxene derivative and an acceptor hemifullerene, have been found to form heteromolecular dimers in solution with binding constants on the order of 10 3 M ‐1 , as described by E. Ortí, D. M. Guldi, L. T. Scott, N. Martín, et al. in their Communication on page 2170 ff. This is the first time that a fullerene fragment has been found to mimic the behavior of C 60 as an electron acceptor.
