Synthesis and characterization of new acetalized [60]fullerenes
摘要:
Acetalized [60]fullerenes were synthesized from cyclohexanone-fused [60]fullerene, which was facilely prepared by Diels-Alder reaction of C-60 with silylether diene, on treatment of various aliphatic alcohols under TiCl4 catalyst. The spiro-cyclic acetalized [60]fullerenes having five, six, and seven-membered rings were also synthesized by using the corresponding diols under the same condition. The slightly raised reduction potentials E-red (similar to 0.04 V) relative to those of PCBM were observed by cyclic voltammetry measurement, depending on the identity of alkyl group/chain. The noncyclic acetalized [60]fullerenes showed lower thermal stability up to 200 degrees C, while the cyclic ones exhibited the drastically improved thermal stability up to 350 degrees C under nitrogen atmosphere. The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis easily removed the acetal moiety quantitatively, resulting in a considerable change of solvent solubility of the fullerene. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
We have demonstrated that C60 derivatives bearing a pyrrolidine moiety as well as a variety of other substituents can form 1â:â2 complexes with γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CDx) using a mechanochemical high-speed vibration milling apparatus. When the influence of the steric hindrance of the substituents on the formation of the complexes was negligible, the water-solubilities of the complexes were shown experimentally to be completely dependent on the hydrophobic properties of the substituent. Furthermore, the stabilities of the γ-CDx-complexes of several different C60 derivatives were found to be similar to or slightly higher than that of the C60·γ-CDx complex, with the solubilities of the complexes showing no correlation to the stabilities. Based on the results of a series of theoretical investigations, we have shown that the stabilities of the γ-CDx-complexes can be affected not only by steric effects but also by the polarities of the substituent groups, which exist in the vicinity of the upper rim of γ-CDx, because the water bound to the polar group can assist in the stabilisation of the complexes.

appropriately protected (4-amino)phenylalanine and lysine, respectively. Conversion of the imine to the corresponding amine is achieved by di-acid catalyzed hydroboration. The reduction of the imine is not accompanied by hydroboration of the fullerene cage. The [70]fullerene phenylalanine derivative has also been prepared as have the di-amino acid derivatives. The compounds were characterized by MALDI-TOF mass

The preparation of novel fullerynes which are fullerenes (e.g. C60, C70, C80, etc.) that contain one or more alkyne functionalities and may contain additional functional groups such as hydroxyls, halogens, esters, haloesters, phenyl, oligo(ethylene glycol)s, perfluorinated alkyl chains, and the like. Two desired preparation routes are disclosed. The first one is the Fischer esterification in desired solvents using a special designed reactor in contrast to the heretofore initial Steglich reaction that results in side reactions and low yields. The second one uses acetylide Grignard reagents that have reduced nucleophilicity and higher stability in contrast to the use of heretofore initial lithium organyls or other Grignard reagents that would add to C60 with possible multi-additions in an uncontrollable manner.

A range of fullerenes (C-60) functionalized with long alkyl chains have been synthesized and inserted into single-walled carbon nanotubes. The impact of the alkyl chain length and of the type of linker between the addend and the fullerene cage on the geometry of molecular arrays in nanotube has been studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In the presence of functional groups the mean interfullerene separations are significantly increased by 2-8 nm depending on the length of the alkyl chain, but the periodicity of the fullerene arrays is disrupted due to the conformational flexibility of the alkyl groups.
