The scope of the present work is to highlight the effects stemming from different C60/exTTF linkages (exTTF = 9,10-bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-9,10-dihydroanthracene)either via an anthracene unit or a dithiole ring. Particular emphasis is placed on photoinduced electron-transfer features. Therefore,...
