Abstract

Several analogous C58 open-cage fullerene derivatives have been prepared through silver acetate mediated decarboxylation of the corresponding C59 open-cage precursors. These C58 open-cage fullerene derivatives can trap one water molecule under mild conditions as shown by spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray analysis.

  • 11 General Procedure for the Preparation of Compounds 2a–d CF3CO2Ag (30 equiv of 1) was added into a solution of compound 1 (0.1 mmol) in distilled toluene (30 mL). The mixture was stirred at r.t., and progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After all the starting material 1 has been converted into a new complex with the silver salt (around 10–30 min), the mixture was then stirred vigorously at 100 °C. When the reaction was completed (about 3 d), the reaction solution was cooled to r.t. and directly chromatographed on a silica gel column and eluted with toluene–EtOAc (20:1). The second red band was collected and evaporated to give compound 2. Yields range from 40–45%.
