Abstract

The selective insertion of a CH₂ or NH group at the 5,6-junction on the C₅₉N skeleton is achieved through the PCl₅ induced reaction of a CH₂OH or NHOH group on the cage to form [C₅₉N(CH₂)]R or [C₅₉N(NH)]R, respectively. Spectroscopic data and single crystal X-ray diffraction structure analysis confirmed the 5,6-open homoazafullerene structure.
