title: The Diels-Alder reaction of C60 and cyclopentadiene in mesoporous silica as a reaction medium.
abstract: As a new organic reaction medium, a periodic mesoporous inorganic material was found to function as a "solid solvent" in a Diels-Alder reaction of C(60) with cyclopentadiene. This finding was supported by a concentration effect and a kinetic study of the reaction.
