We report on a multistep synthesis of the newly designed tetracene‐[60]fullerene dyad involing a Bingel reaction between the tetracene and C 60 moieties. This strategy prevents the usual Diels−Alder reaction which would result in the loss of the tetracene aromaticity in the target dyad. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
