Title:

Specifically Tailored Endohedral Metallofullerenes

Inventor(s): Luis Echegoyen
Abstract: The invention is directed to several different processes that can be utilized to prepare endohedral metallofullerenes with specific characteristics. Processes of the invention can be utilized to prepare monoadducts including cycloaddition of functional groups to the [6, 6] double bond of a pyrene-type site of the fullerene. The invention also discloses simple, economical methods for separating fullerene isomers based upon the different oxidation potentials of the isomers.
