Abstract
[7H]Benzanthrene 2 was used as a catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of C60 and C70 by 9,10-dihydroanthracene 1. The catalyst allowed milder reaction conditions (250 °C) than the non catalyzed procedure did (350 °C).2 The reaction products identified by EI-MS were C60H36, C60H44 and C70H36 thus a higher degree of hydrogenation could be reached in the case of C60. The method is also suitable for deuteration. A structure proposal for C70H36 and its ΔHf(g) from molecular mechanics calculations are presented.
