title: Manganese(III) acetate-mediated radical reaction of [60]fullerene with phosphonate esters affording unprecedented separable singly-bonded [60]fullerene dimers.
abstract: Radical reaction of [60]fullerene with phosphonate esters mediated by manganese(III) acetate in chlorobenzene afforded singly-bonded fullerene dimers, of which the individual meso and racemic isomers could be unexpectedly separated out for the first time.
