Abstract
By grafting polystyryllithium (PSLi) or polyisoprenyllithium (PILi) on to the fullerene borne by the mono-adduct polystyrene (PS)-C-60 (appro ximate to 90%) obtained upon reacting the fullerene with azide-termina ted PS, fairly well-defined palm-tree like polymers PSaC60(PSb)(5) and block copolymers PSaC60(PI)(5) could be obtained. In these architectu res, 5 PS (PI) branches of equal length are connected to a PS trunk th rough a single fullerene molecule.
