Fullerene–hydrazone dyads have been synthesized using the Confalone reaction followed by condensation with phenylhydrazines. Room‐temperature xerographic time‐of‐flight, ionization potential, and cyclic voltammetry measurements indicate that these narrow‐band‐gap ( E g <1.5 eV), ambipolar charge‐transporting dyads with balanced hole‐ and electron mobilities, which operate in air, are attractive materials for various optoelectronic applications.
