Photodynamic therapy is an important tool in modern medicine due to its effectiveness, safety, and the ability to provide targeted treatment for a range of diseases. Photodynamic therapy utilizes photosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Fullerenes can be used as photosensitizers to produce ROS in high quantum yields.

The regioselective functionalization of fullerenes holds significant promise for applications in the fields of medicinal chemistry, materials science, and photovoltaics. In this study, we investigate the regioselectivity of the rhodium(I)-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions between diynes and C as a novel procedure for generating C bis(fulleroid) derivatives. The aim is to shed light on the regioselectivity of the process through both experimental and computational approaches.

An open-cage bis[60]fulleroid (OC) was applied as an electron transport material (ETM) in tin (Sn) halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Due to the reduced offset between the energy levels of Sn-based perovskites and ETMs, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of Sn-based PSCs with OC reached 9.6% with an open-circuit voltage () of 0.

Department of Chemistry, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA, USA..

The remarkable structures of open-cage fullerenes with functionalization on the outer surface and an accessible inner void make them interesting ligands for reactions with metal complexes. The behaviors of open-cage fullerenes in reactions with various metal complexes are examined and compared to the corresponding reactions with intact fullerenes. The structural results from X-ray diffraction are emphasized.
