title: Shuttling as a Strategy to Control the Regiochemistry of Bis-Additions on Fullerene Derivatives.
abstract: The reactivity of a fullerene-stoppered rotaxane, a C60 monoadduct, towards a second cycloaddition reaction is explored. The close proximity of the macrocycle to the fullerene sphere is able to allosterically influence the second cycloaddition reaction, giving rise to a selected mixture of bis-adducts.
