Research Abstract

This research focuses on expansion of the limited cavities of fullerenes by building cylindrical π-electronic walls onto the top of open-cage C_<60> derivatives. Alkylation reactions of methylene hydrogen atoms on the rims of open-cage fullerenes allow to introduce alkyl substituents as potential components for the extension. It has been found that substituents effect on the rates of incorporations/releases of the guests. The reactions of an open-cage C_<60> with hydroxyl amines afford ketoxime derivatives as new starting materials for further transformations.
