Abstract
AbstractTris(9′,10′‐dimethyl[9,10]ethanoanthracene[11′,12′: 1,9;11″,12″: 16,17;11′′′,12′′′: 30,31])[5,6]fullerene C60, the orthogonal (e,e,e)‐tris‐adduct of C60 and 9,10‐dimethylanthracene, was obtained from [4+2]‐cycloaddition (Diels–Alder reaction) at room temperature. The thermally unstable orange red (e,e,e)‐tris‐adduct was purified by chromatography and was isolated in the form of red monoclinic crystals. Its C3‐symmetric addition pattern was established spectroscopically. Its structure could be further investigated by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The (e,e,e)‐tris‐adduct of C60 and 9,10‐dimethylanthracene has earlier been suggested as intermediate and reversibly formed critical component in ‘template directed’ addition reactions of C60. This previously elusive compound has now been isolated and structurally characterized.
