Abstract
Hydrogenation of buckminsterfullerene C60 has been achieved via reacti on with (eta5-C5H5)2Zr(H)Cl (hydrozirconation). Hydrolysis of the inte rmediate C60 zirconium(IV) complex, [(eta5-C5H5)2ZrCl]nC60Hn with n=1, 2,3 yielded a mixture of C60H2n and unreacted C60, from which C60H2 ha s been isolated through preparative high performance liquid chromatogr aphy (HPLC).
