Abstract

The epoxy moiety in a fullerene mixed peroxide can be opened regioselectively by various Lewis acids to form halohydrin fullerene derivatives. The first iodofullerene was obtained by treating the fullerene epoxide with triphenylphosphine and iodine. A single-crystal structure of the chlorohydrin derivative supports the results.

Key words

fullerene - halohydrin - epoxides - peroxide - Lewis acid
