Abstract
The single-step regio- and stereoselective platinum-catalyzed reactions of [60]fullerene with a series of 9-ethynyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl carboxylates afforded fullerene-fluorene dyads in their [2 + 2] cycloaddition forms. The presented reactions represent the first examples of the use of easily accessible fluorenyl carboxylates as fluorenylideneallene precursors. In addition, the single-crystal X-ray structure of one of the dyads reveals a distorted cyclobutane ring. Furthermore, the dyad forms a layered structure with close-packed arrays of C60 spheres in its crystals.
