Abstract

We have been interested in the effect of metal coordination on the properties of buckminsterfullerene (Cm).'The electrochemistry of C, itself has now been studied extensively,'hq2 and up to five reduction waves have been seen for C, in solution. 2b The existence of the solid state phase &C60 suggests that six electrons can be accommodated on the C, sphereO3 Little is known about the electrochemical properties of Cm derivatives ...
