M. Maggini et al., SYNTHESIS OF A [60]FULLERENE DERIVATIVE COVALENTLY-LINKED TO A RUTHENIUM(II) TRIS(BIPYRIDINE) COMPLEX, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (8), 1995, pp. 845-846
The synthesis of a [60]fullerene derivative containing the transition
metal complex Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) is described; its UV-VIS spectrum shows a
bsorptions typical of the two independent chromophores.
