Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201302607-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Adding a compact dihydromethano (CH₂) group to a 58π‐indene fullerene (C₆₀(Ind))</bold> creates a 56π‐electron dihydromethano/indene fullerene (C₆₀(CH₂)(Ind)) and raises the LUMO level with only a minimal increase in size. This class of compounds features reduced conjugation that raises the LUMO level, and a high electron mobility because of the small CH₂ addend. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3x91471j" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
