Abstract

Diazirine addition reactions to C60, followed by an HCl elimination step, yielded [6,6] and [5,6] sp2 carbon bridged fullerenes. The [5,6] adducts (alkylidenehomofullerenes) are the first examples of fullerene structures where the addend is attached to the fullerene cage in a true, albeit highly bent, alternating single–double bond fashion.
