Generation of Fullerenyl Cation (EtO)<sub>2</sub>P<sup>+</sup>(OH)CH<sub>2</sub>−C<sub>60</sub><sup>+</sup> from RC<sub>60</sub>−H and from\nRC<sub>60</sub>−C<sub>60</sub>R (R = CH<sub>2</sub>P(O)(OEt)<sub>2</sub>)

Abstract

A novel fullerenyl cation (EtO)<sub>2</sub>P<sup>+</sup>(OH)CH<sub>2</sub>−C<sub>60</sub><sup>+</sup> was generated by simply dissolving the monofunctionalized hydrofullerene RC<sub>60</sub>−H or singly bonded dimer RC<sub>60</sub>−C<sub>60</sub>R (R = CH<sub>2</sub>P(O)(OEt)<sub>2</sub>) in oxidizing acids such as H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> and FSO<sub>3</sub>H. The cation was also formed in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> by one-electron oxidation with aminium radical cation and was used for further functionalization of C<sub>60</sub>.
