Synthesis and electrochemical properties of novel dimeric fullerenes incorporated in a 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene framework

Novel dimeric fullerenes incorporated in a 2,3-diazabicyclo2.2.2]oct-2-ene framework, with and without direct inter-fullerene-cage bonds, were synthesized and fully characterized spectroscopically; the electronic communication between the two fullerene cages was clarified by differential pulse voltammetry.
