Research Abstract

We succeeded in the construction of the general and versatile route to the C3 symmetric buckybowls, and in the first synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterabuckybowl "triazasumanene". These results will lead to the development of the synthesis of heterafullerenes, which are expected to the various unique properties as well as the ultimate goal for the synthestic organic chemistry.
