Synthesis of 1,1'-binaphthyl-based enantiopure C(60) dimers.
The first enantiomerically pure and soluble C(60) dimers have been synthesized from suitably functionalized 1,1'-binaphthyl derivatives by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the respective in situ generated diazo compounds to C(60). These systems exhibit optical and electrochemical activity.
