First synthesis of a highly symmetrical decakis-adduct of fullerene dimer C120.
The highly symmetrical decakis-cyclopropanated derivative of C120 was synthesized using template activation and the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography; the decakis-adduct was converted into the eicosa-carboxylic acid derivative that is water soluble.
