Buckybowls are fascinating components of supramolecular assemblies owing to their unique bowl-shaped pi-surfaces. Herein we present a protocol for the functionalization of a sulfur-doped buckybowl, trithiasumanene, via a brominated intermediate, from which thiolated trithiasumanenes were derived. The curved surface and electron-donating properties of thiolated trithiasumanenes promote their ready assembly with fullerenes to form concave-convex complexes. The supramolecular assembly behavior in solution was investigated by NMR analysis. The structures of supramolecular complexes were unambiguously characterized by crystallography. The crystals of the concave-convex complexes showed high thermal stability and photoconductivity.
