Electrosynthesis of buckyballs with fused-ring systems from PCBM and its analogue

Abstract [6,6]-Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), a star molecule in the fullerene field, has found wide applications in materials science. Herein, electrosynthesis of buckyballs with fused-ring systems has been achieved through radical α-C−H functionalization of the side-chain ester for b...
