Abstract
A new approach to functionalization of fullerene is developed: treating [60 ]fullerene p-tert-butyl calix[8]arene Complex with vaporous reagents, such as chlorine, vaporous bromine or vaporous amines. A dramatic reaction accel eration was observed and derivatives with smaller substitution degree were obtained in the reaction in comparison with the reaction of [60]fullerene i tself The influences of temperature and gas flow rate were investigated.
