title: Pentafluorophenyl transfer reaction: preparation of pentafluorophenyl [60]fullerene adducts through opening of fullerene epoxide moiety with trispentafluorophenylborane.
abstract: Unlike the extensively studied perfluoroalkyl fullerene adducts, perfluorophenyl fullerene adducts are quite difficult to prepare by known methods. Trispentafluorophenylborane was found to react with fullerene epoxide to form the 1,2-perfluorophenylfullerenol. The method can be applied to both the simple epoxide C60(O) and fullerene multiadducts containing an epoxide moiety. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis confirmed the addition of the pentafluorophenyl group.
