Functionalization of C60 Buckminsterfullerene by [8 + 2] Cycloaddition: Spectroscopic and Electron‐Transfer Properties of a Tetrahydroazulenofullerene

Ernst Beer, Michaela Feuerer, Andreas Knorr, A. Mirlach, Jörg Daub

Abstract

The novel C60 cycloadduct 1 is formed in the reaction of 8-methoxyheptafulvene with buckminster-fullerene C60. Compound 1 can be reduced to its tetraanion in four reversible steps; the spectral properties of the radical anion, dianion, and trianion were examined by UV/VIS/NIR spectroelectro-chemistry. Adduct 1 may lead to other functional-ized fullerenes having substructures with electron-transfer properties.
