Abstract

The nucleophilic cyclopropanation of C60 with a second generation bis(polyamide)-malonate dendrimer and the subsequent deprotection of the terminal t-butyl groups provides a dendro[60]fullerene with 18 carboxylic groups in the periphery. This dendritic monoadduct of C60 is highly water-soluble.

The synthesis of a highly water-soluble dendritic monoadduct of C60 is reported.
