Abstract
Fullerenes undergo Diels-Alder reactions with a number of polymer-supported diene functions. To probe the importance of interactions between the polymer support and the fullerene, we have synthesized hydrophobic (polymer) and hydrophilic (silica) supported furans and cyclopentadienes. Cyclopentadiene reacts efficiently with fullerenes with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic supports. In contrast, supported furans are much more reactive when linked to hydrophobic supports. This indicates the importance of secondary interactions in the creation of these materials.
