Palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation and cleavage of organo(hydro)fullerenes.
Palladium can tailor fullerenes: Palladium catalysts enable a number of C-H bond transformations of organo(hydro)fullerene. In addition to anticipated coupling reactions (C-H bond allylation and arylation), an unexpected new C-H bond dimerization reaction and C-C bond-cleavage reaction were also uncovered.
