Conducting surfaces: A covalently linked phthalocyanine–C60 fullerene conjugate 1 (see picture) is able to self-organize on graphite and graphite-like surfaces, thus giving rise to supramolecular fibers and films. These nanostructures are electrically characterized by conductive atomic force microscopy and show outstanding nanoscale electrical conductivity.
