Functionalization of fullerenes can lead to the tuning of electron‐acceptor properties of C 60 derivatives. In the Full Paper by F. Langa, J.‐F. Nierengarten, P. Samorì, N. Armaroli, et al. on page 4405 ff, the synthesis, electrochemistry, the photophysical properties and the self‐assembly behavior in ultra‐thin films of OPV–fulleropyrazoline compounds (shown on the cover) is described. Detailed SFM and STM studies on the largest system reveal the spontaneous formation from solution of ordered layer architectures on surfaces (illustrated schematically).
