title: C60 pyrrolidine bis-carboxylic acid derivative as a versatile precursor for biocompatible fullerenes.
abstract: A C60 Prato derivative with bis-(t)Bu ester was prepared as a stable and convenient scaffold for the development of fullerene derivatives such as water-soluble C60-PEG conjugates, fulleropeptides via solid phase synthesis, and bis-functionalized C60.
