First X-ray determination of cyclopropane structure in methanofullerenes
Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of [(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)phenylmethano][60]fullerene 1 confirming firstly the cyclopropane structure for methanofullerenes is reported; one of two chloroform molecules (enclosed in the crystal lattice) forms a hydrogen bond pattern to both oxygen atoms of 1.
