New nine solid charge transfer (CT) complexes have been prepared based on 1,2-dicyano C-60, C-60(CN)(2) and characterized spectroscopically. IR spectra of the complexes can be fully assigned by the superposition of those of the neutral component molecules, indicating the neutral ground state of the complexes. The neutral electronic feature of the complexes is also supported substantially by CT absorption bands observed in solid UV-Vis spectra. Since the absorption band shifts negatively by ca. 1 x 10(3) cm(-1) relative to corresponding C-60-based one, it is then evident that C-60(CN)(2) is a stronger electron acceptor than parent C-60, consistent with the expectation from cyclic voltammetry.
