Abstract
An unprecedented 1,4-cycloadduct of C60 and other sophisticated fullerene architectures were prepared through reductive functionalization. This method, starting with the two-fold reduction of C60 with potassium, closely resembles related reactions of carbon nanotubides and represents a so far only little explored concept of fullerene chemistry. Investigations on the scope of different electrophiles as addition partners including a series of tether systems with a predefined geometry provide both new insights of fullerene reactivity itself and new types of exohedral derivatives. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. Hirsch et al. on page 5186.
