Fullerene-acene chemistry: diastereoselective synthesis of a cis,cis-tris[60]fullerene adduct of 6,8,15,17-tetraphenylheptacene.
[structure: see text]. A one-pot, diastereoselective synthesis of a cis,cis-tris[60]fullerene adduct of 6,8,15,17-tetraphenylheptacene has been demonstrated starting from [60]fullerene and 5,7,9,14,16,18-hexahydro-6,8,15,17-tetraphenylheptacene.
