The PCBM methyl ester can be used for coupling amine-containing ligands after removal of the methyl group and activation of the carboxylate using a number of different reaction strategies. Hummelen et al. (1995) successfully coupled cholestanol and histamine to the fuller-ene-PCBM derivative (after acid chloride formation) for use in fabrication of photodetectors and biological studies, respectively. For specific applications of PCBM-fullerenes, see Shaheen et al. (2001), Brabec et al. (2001), Yu et al. (1995), Mecher et al. (2002), Meijer et al. (2003), van Duren et al. (2004), and Anthopoulos et al. (2004).
