We have developed a method for the covalent attachment of fullerenes to a polymer support through an apparent Diels-Alder cycloaddition. This addition has been shown to be readily reversible, allowing recovery of C[sub 60] upon heating of the resin. Further optimization and characterization of these polymers is being pursued. Additionally, their application to the nonchromatographic purification of fullerenes is currently under study and will be reported in due course. 19 refs., 1 fig.
