Synthesis and characterization of a bisadduct of La@C82

J Am Chem Soc. 2006 May 10;128(18):5990-1. doi: 10.1021/ja058390i.

Abstract

A bisadduct of La@C82 has been synthesized in a good yield by a Bingel-Hirsch reaction. Its structure has been well-defined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. A pair of enantiomers of the adduct form a dimer in the single crystal.
