the 9,10-positions of the anthracene unit in the dyad 7 causes the first reduction to take place on the addend. This experimental and computational study has shown that both the C60-acceptor dyad 7 and the C60-donor dyad 8 are suitable precursors for the synthesis of the proposed type-D triads, which contain both a donor and an acceptor buildingblock attached to the fullerene core in a stereochemically
