Abstract

The coassembly of C60 derivatives through arene–perfluoroarene interactions has been used for the first time to develop millimeter-sized flat crystalline sheets. Time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) measurements exhibited anisotropic features with over double the charge carrier mobility in the direction parallel to the plane of the crystal than perpendicular to the plane. This study demonstrates a strategy to obtain large-sized 2-dimensional architectures of C60 with anisotropic optoelectronic functions.
