Abstract

C_2v-Symmetric octaalkoxyfullerenes, C₆₀(OR)₈ (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, CH₂CF₃), were synthesized by reacting octabromofullerene with the corresponding alcohols in the presence of AgBF₄. The reactions occurred with no change in the addition pattern, and the compounds were unambiguously characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis. Electrochemical measurements revealed not only that these derivatives have stable redox properties but also that their LUMO levels can be tuned over a very wide range.
