Abstract
A systematic variation of functionalizing addends, covalently linked to the fullerene core, has been probed in light of facilitating fullerene incorpo ration into artificial lipid bilayer membranes. Electron transfer studies, by means of time-resolved pulse radiolysis, show that structurally balanced fullerene derivatives were successfully incorporated into various vesicula r matrices which, in turn, enabled a very efficient fullerene reduction by hydrated electrons and (CH2OH)-C-. radicals.
