S. Takekuma et al., Influence of metal complexes on the formation of gamma-cyclodextrin-bicapped C-60(n-) (n : 1 and 2) in aqueous solution, TETRAHEDR L, 41(7), 2000, pp. 1043-1046
A facile electron transfer from a reducing agent, Na2S2O4 to C-60 in gamma-
cyclodextrin-bicapped C-60-complex (1) in aqueous solution at ambient tempe
rature under argon, leading to the simultaneous formation of 'C-60(1-)' and
'C-60(2-)' has been accomplished by using excess (18-crown-6):iron(III) ch
loride (1:1) complex as mediator for the electron transfer. (C) 2000 Elsevi
