Y. Ederle et C. Mathis, CONTROL OF THE ADDITION OF VARIOUS CARBANIONS ONTO C-60 IN POLAR AND NON POLAR-SOLVENTS, Synthetic metals, 86(1-3), 1997, pp. 2275-2276
The reaction between various ''living'' polymers and C-60 Was investig
ated in polar and non polar solvents. In toluene only addition is obse
rved, a maximum of 6 chains are grafted using a styryl or an isoprenyl
carbanion and 3 with I,l-diphenyl ethenyl. In THF, for all three carb
anions studied 2 electrons are first transferred followed by addition
of respectively 4, 3 and 0 chains with the carbanions styryl, 2-vinyl
pyridinyl and 1,1-diphenyl ethenyl.
