Synthesis of Methanofullerenes for Materials Science and Biological Applications

  • Chapter
Fullerenes: From Synthesis to Optoelectronic Properties

Part of the book series: Developments in Fullerene Science ((DFUL,volume 4))

Abstract

Following the discovery of the macroscopic-scale C60 synthesis by Krätschmer, Huffman and co-workers, the physical properties of this fascinating carbon cage have been intensively investigated [1–8]. Among the most spectacular findings, C60 was found to behave like an electronegative molecule able to reversibly accept up to six electrons, to become a supraconductor in M3C60 species (M = alkali metals), or to be an interesting material with non-linear optical properties [1–8]. However, this new molecular material aggregates very easily and is insoluble or only sparingly soluble in most solvents. Therefore, pristine C60 is difficult to handle. This serious obstacle for practical applications can be, at least in part, overcome with the help of the organic modification of C60. Effectively, the recent developments in the functionalization of fullerenes allow the preparation of highly soluble C60 derivatives easier to handle, and the electronic properties such as facile multiple reducibility, optical non-linearity or efficient photosensitization that are characteristic of the parent fullerene are maintained for most of the C60 derivatives [1–8].
