Abstract

Herein, a convenient equivalent conjugated electron number technique is put forward to set up a numerical relationship between the electron number and HOMO even before molecules are synthesized, especially used for quickly predicting the charge-transfer state of C60-donor derivatives. It provides a method for designing fullerene conjugates with different excited-state properties.
