Abstract

An efficient and simple method for the synthesis of two uniform buckminsterfullerene hydrogenation products, C60H18 and C60H36, is offered by the title reaction. The picture on the right shows a probable structure of C60H36 obtained from MM2 calculations. These results are an important step on the way to preparative organic chemistry with C60. (Figure Presented.)
