Photocycloaddition of anthracene to excited C-60

Journal Article · · Doklady Chemistry
OSTI ID:171839

The ability to participate in photochemical cycloaddition reactions is characteristic feature of chromophores with a carbon double bond. In this work, the authors demonstrate the formation of an adduct by cycloaddition of anthracene to the triplet-excited C-60 fullerene under anaerobic conditions, which provides a straight forward way to synthesize new derivatives of C-60 fullerenes. Reaction methods, conditions, and mechanisms are included along with the characterization of the fullerene derivative with IR, MS, and NMR methods.
