Complexed fullerenes

Attachment of pyridyl or amino groups to electronically active groups such as bipy or terpy transition metal complexes, fullerenes, TTF, or porphyrins... 

Unusually for CTV, it also binds Cgo in solution, forming a 1 1 host/guest complex." Fullerenes are highly colored in solution, and hence electronic spectroscopy is ideal for establishing solution binding constants with them. Functionalization of the CTV core can result in... 

The chemistry of transition metal complexes of fullerenes has been comprehensively reviewed.In mono-nuclear complexes, fullerenes such as G60 and G70 (and also functionalized fullerenes) act as electron-deficient polyalkenes, and the metal is attached in an 7 -fashion to the G-G carbon bond at the fusion of two six-membered rings.

Fullerenes can be considered as a molecular full stop to organic synthesis highly complex and possibly very useful molecules are formed by self-organization of carbon atoms in the vapor phase. Sometimes synthetic chemists are not needed. 

Diels-Alder reaction of fullerenes with complex dienes type 52 (Figure 2.6) which have a 2,3-bis-(methylene) bicyclo[2.2.2]octane unit [49].

The most recent report of -coordination to a ruthenium porphyrin fragment details the reaction of [Ru(OEP)j2 with C o in benzene/THF (100 1) solution. The UV-visible spectrum of the complex showed a new band at 780 nm, not observed in the spectrum of either Ru(OEP) 2 or C(,o, and H and C NMR data also indicated the presence of a new complex. This has been formulated on the basis of the spectroscopic data as the fullerene complex Ru(OEP)(... 

Dendrons 21-23 are easily prepared on a multi-gram scale and are highly soluble in common organic solvents thanks to the presence of the four long alkyl chains per peripheral fullerene unit. Therefore, they appear to be good candidates for the preparation of fullerene-rich macromolecules, for example, as shown by their attachment to a phenanthroline diol derivative and the preparation of the corresponding copper(I) complexes (see below).
