Probing the spatial requirements for [60]fullerene-[60]fullerene π-stacking and the syn addition of [60]fullerenes across acenes

The reaction between 2 equiv of [60]fullerene and 6,8,15,17-tetraphenylheptacene-7,16-quinone leads to both cis and trans-bis[60]fullerene adducts. This result contrasts sharply with the highly diastereoselective syn additions of [60]fullerenes across 6,13-diphenylpentacene and 6,8,15,17-tetraphenylheptacene. The importance of spatially dependent [60]fullerene-[60]fullerene π-stacking interactions in promoting a syn addition of [60]fullerenes is discussed.

Absorption spectrophotometric study of supramolecular complexation of [60]- and [70]fullerenes with 24,26-dimethoxy-25,27-dihydroxy calix[4]arene

Supramolecular interactions of 24,26-dimethoxy-25,27-dihydroxy calix[4]arene (1) with [60]- and [70]fullerenes have been studied in only chloroform and in a ternary solvent mixture comprising of chloroform, ethyl alcohol and toluene by UV-vis absorption spectrophotometric method. The experimental results are explained using the model that takes into account the interaction between electronic subsystems of 1 and fullerene. The most interesting feature is the preference of [60]fullerene over [70]fullerene for 1 in ternary solvent mixture as revealed by higher value of formation constant of [60]fullerene/1 complex. The selectivity towards [60]fullerene opens up the way toward self-assembling systems and new separation and purification methods for fullerenes.     

The first synthesis of a methano[60]fullerene with an electron-donating group at the methano-bridge carbon: synthesis and reaction of aminomethano[60]fullerene

[reaction: see text] Aminomethano[60]fullerene was synthesized for the first time as a trifluoromethanesulfonic acid salt by applying the Curtius rearrangement of azidocarbonylmethano[60]fullerene as the key reaction. Aminomethano[60]fullerene thus obtained was found to be able to react with various acyl chlorides to afford the corresponding amides.     

A New Approach to [60]Fullerene Ferrocenyl Derivative

It is well blown that fullerene (C,,) possesses strong electron acceptor charactersl. It canaccept reversibly up to six electrons2-3. Accordingly, many investigators try to linkcovalently different electron donors to C,, to design molecular electron devices 4-9.Ferrocene is a rich electron-donor, it is not surprise that fullerene fermcenyl derivativeplays a relevant role in the design of molecular electron devices. A series of fullereneferrocenyl derivatives have been synthesized yi'a the cyc…     

Photochemical Preparation of Highly Water-Soluble Pendant [60]Fullerene-Aminopolymers

Abstract— In order to introduce fullerene cages into an aqueous environment, pendant [60]fullerene-poly(propionylethyle-neimine-co-ethyleneimine) was prepared photochemical-ly. The pendant polymer is highly water soluble, with equivalent aqueous solubilities of the polymer-bound [60]fullerene much higher than the solubility of [60]ful-lerene in toluene. The photochemical reaction between [60]fullerene and secondary amine moieties in the ami-nopolymers likely follows a photoinduced electron transfer-proton transfer mechanism. The pendant polymer structures, which are represented by dehydrogenated di-and tetra-aminofullerene linkages, were characterized by use of proton and 13C NMR, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, gel-permeation chromatography and optical spectroscopic methods.

本文全面综述了多种[60]富勒烯衍生物的结构,阐述了(13)~C NMR谱在[60]富勒烯衍生物结构表征中的应用,重点讨论了不同对称性[60]富勒烯衍生物的(13)~C NMR谱图特征.通过[60]富勒烯部分(13)~C共振线的化学位移、数目和相对强度,可以确定[60]富勒烯衍生物的对称结构和加成方式.对于C_s、C_(2v)和C_(3v)对称性的[60]富勒烯衍生物,镜面上的碳原子的相对化学位移很大程度上取决于他们距加成位置的距离.因此,(13)~C NMR谱在碳笼具体结构的确定中具有不可替代的作用.     

Gas-phase methylation of [60]fullerene

Direct methylation of [60]fullerene via a gas-phase reaction in a CH4/H2 atmosphere was performed using a modified hot filament chemical vapor deposition method. Pressures were varied from 10 to 60 mbar and the substrate was maintained at 690 degrees C. High-resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry analysis showed signals corresponding to C60H18-2n(H,CH3)n. Collision-induced dissociation experiments confirmed a maximum of 18 ligands possible to the [60]fullerene cage.     

Addition of diphenylphosphinoyl azide to [60]fullerene

The reaction of [60]fullerene with diphenylphosphinoyl azide in toluene or ino-dichlorobenzene in the presence of traces of water affords 2-[N-(diphenylphosphoryl)amino]-1-hydroxy[60]fullerene This reaction in THF gives a mixture of (N-diphenylphosphoryl)[60]fullerenol[1,2-b]aziridine and a product of partial hydrolysis of the bisadduct of phosphorylated azide and fullerene.

First Diels-Alder Addct of [60] Fullerene with a Piperidinoxanthate

In the search for intramolecular energy and electron transfer phenomena in [ 60 ] fullerene donor-containing molecules, some electron donor fragments have been covalently linked to the fullerene core. [1 ～4] Only in very fewcases has reliable evidence of thermal or photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer processes been reported. [5]With the aim of promoting an intramolecular electron transfer we sought to develop a novel type of 6-chlorophenazine derivative of [60]fullerene in which the 6-chloro-phenazine core is directly attached by two σ-bonds to the ball giving rise to a different and more rigid spatial orientation of the HOMO of the 6-chloro-phenazine addend with respect to the LUMO of [60]fullerene.     

Regioselective synthesis of [60]fullerene eta 5-indenide R3C60- and eta 5-cyclopentadienide R5C60- bearing different R groups

Treatment of a 1,7-diorgano[60]fullerene with Grignard reagents or organocopper reagents affords a [60]fullerene indenide or a [60]fullerene cyclopentadienide regioselectively in good to excellent yields. These reactions gave an insight into the reaction mechanism of the organocopper penta-addition reaction of [60]fullerene, giving [60]fullerene cyclopentadienide in quantitative yield.

Ring-opening reaction of cyclopropanated [60]fullerenes: unexpected transformation of methano[60]fullerenes having an electron-donating group on the methano-bridge carbon

A series of novel transformations of [60]fullerene derivatives were found, starting from methano[60]fullerenes with an electron-donating group on the methano-bridge carbon. Aminomethano[60]fullerenes, in situ generated by the treatment of their trifluoromethanesulfonic acid salts with a base, were readily converted into 1-acyl-1,2-dihydro[60]fullerenes via the ring opening of the cyclopropane moiety. The aldehyde/ketones thus obtained were easily hydrolyzed to give 1,2-dihydro[60]fullerene in the presence of hydroxide anions.

Solution NMR studies of supramolecular complexes of [60]- and [70]fullerenes with mono O-substituted calix[6]arene

Supramolecular complexation of [60]- and [70]fullerenes with 37-allyl-38,39,40,41,42-pentahydroxy-5,11,17,23,29,35-hexa(4-tert butyl)calix[6]arene (I) has been studied in CCl(4) medium by NMR spectrometric method. All of the complexes are found to be stable with 1:1 stoichiometry. Formation constants (K) of the above supramolecular complexes have been determined from systematic variation of NMR chemical shifts of specific protons of I in the presence of [60]- and [70]fullerenes. Trends in the K value suggest that [70]fullerene binds more strongly with I relative to [60]fullerene. Both PM3 and ab initio calculations reveal that the intermolecular interaction in the [70]fullerene/I complex proceeds through quite deep energy minima.     

Silver(I) N-heterocyclic carbene-bridged calix[4]arene analogues as efficient [60]fullerene receptors

Two silver(I) N-heterocyclic carbene-bridged calix[4]arene analogues 4 and 5 were synthesized by a fragment-coupling approach; the preliminary inclusion properties of 5 with [60]fullerene shows that it is a novel efficient [60]fullerene fluorescent sensor.     

[60]Fullerene diol issued from pentaerythritol derivatives

A new [60]fullerene diol is synthesized in good yield, in two steps starting from reaction of C₆₀²⁻ anion with the benzylideneacetal derived from 2,2-bis(iodomethyl)-1,3-propanediol. The corresponding [60]fullerene bis-mesylate is also formed in a similar way starting from bis-iodo bis-mesylate compound in the same series. The scope of this fullerene diol in synthesis is exemplified by its easy esterification with 4-formyl benzoyl chloride.     

Novel functionalizations of [60]fullerene-fused lactones

Reactions of [60]fullerene-fused lactones with methylmagnesium bromide and diisobutylaluminum hydride afforded rare fullerene hemiketals and hemiacetals, which were dehydrated by p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate or polyphosphonic acid to the corresponding [60]fullerene-fused dihydrofurans. Thus obtained alkyl-substituted and especially unsubstituted [60]fullerene-fused dihydrofurans are difficult to prepare by other methods. The unsubstituted [60]fullerene-fused lactone could react with aliphatic amines to give fullerols.     

Spectrophotometric study of the supramolecular complexes of [60]- and [70]Fullerenes with biscalix[6]arene and crown[4]calix[6]arene

[60]- and [70]Fullerenes have been shown to form 1:1 supramolecular complexes with bis[2-(5,11,17,23,29,35-hexa-tert-butyl-37,38,39,40,41-pentahydroxycalix[6]arenyl-oxy ethyl ether) (1) and 5,11,17,23,29,35-hexa-tert-butyl-37,38,40,41-tetra hydroxyl-39,42-(crown-4)calix[6]arene (2) in CHCl3 medium by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Formation constants (K) of the complexes of [60]- and [70]fullerenes with 1 and 2 have been determined at room temperature from which free energy of formation values of the complexes have been estimated. The very high formation constant value of [60]fullerene/1 complex (5900 dm3 mol-1) in indicative of formation of inclusion complex. Moreover, PM3 calculations reveal that intermolecular interaction between [60]fullerene and 1 proceeds through quite deep energy molecular orbital.
