Abstract

AbstractThe reactions of novel S‐heterocyclic carbenes (SHCs), which were prepared by the cycloaddition of disilenes and digermenes to CS2, with C60 and Sc3N@Ih‐C80 afforded the corresponding methano‐bridged fullerenes. The [6,6]‐closed and [6,6]‐open structures were characterized for the SHC adducts of C60 and Sc3N@Ih‐C80, respectively. These derivatives exhibited relatively low oxidation potentials, indicative of the electron‐donating effects of the SHC addends. The electronic properties of the SHC derivatives were clarified by the density functional theory calculations.
