title: Simple modification in hexakis-addition for efficient synthesis of c(60)-centered dendritic molecules bearing multiple aromatic chromophores.
abstract: In the templated hexakis-addition reaction of malonic esters with C(60) to prepare dendritic macromolecules that are terminated symmetrically with 12 derivatized pyrenes, a simple modification to use a much larger excess of the bromination agent resulted in dramatic increases in the product yields.
