Abstract
Pentamethyl-monohydro[60] fullerene C60Me5H has been synthesized through fi ve-fold addition of methylcopper reagent to C-60. The anion C60Me5- generat ed by deprotonation of C60Me5H forms organometallic complexes with K+ and T I+ ions with stronger metal-carbon interaction than that in the correspondi ng pentaphenylated ligand C60Ph5-.
