title: Radical reaction of [60]fullerene with phosphorus compounds mediated by manganese(III) acetate.
abstract: Radical reaction of [60]fullerene with phosphonates or phosphine oxide mediated by manganese(III) acetate dihydrate in chlorobenzene under three different conditions afforded three different types of phosphorylated fullerenes: singly bonded fullerene dimers 2, hydrophosphorylated fullerenes 3, and acetoxylated fullerene derivatives 4. In addition, interconversions among the three types of phosphorylated fullerene derivatives have also been investigated. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed to explain experimental results.
