AI Article Synopsis
- A triphenylamine-based fullerene was modified under basic conditions, leading to the formation of a tetraarylated epoxy fullerene.
- The high yield product's structure was verified using single crystal X-ray diffraction.
- A mechanism explaining the process of dearylation and epoxide formation was suggested.
Article Abstract
A triphenylamine-derived pentaaryl fullerene undergoes an unusual oxidative dearylation under basic conditions to give tetraarylated epoxy fullerene in high yield. The structure of the product was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A mechanism is proposed to account for the loss of the addend and the subsequent formation of the epoxide group.

Azafullerenes are as yet the only synthetically available heterofullerenes. Herein, we present plausible reaction pathways towards pentaaryl azafullerenes, focusing on the reactivity of hydro-azafullerene intermediates and their regiochemistry. The X-ray structure of a β'-hydro-tetraaryl adduct is presented for the first time.

A study on self-assembly of anisotropically substituted penta-aryl fullerenes in water has been reported. The penta-phenol-substituted amphiphilic fullerene derivative [C60Ph5(OH)5] exhibited self-assembled vesicular nanostructures in water under the experimental conditions. The size of the vesicles was observed to depend upon the kinetics of self-assembly and could be varied from ∼300 to ∼70 nm.

We present extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the structure and stability of fullerene-based membranes. The simulations provide a molecular description of the PhK (pentaaryl[60]fullerene anions, C60Ar5(-)·K(+)) and C8K (C60Ar5(-)·K(+) with octyl substituents) membranes. Physical chemical properties and molecular organization of PhK and C8K membranes elucidate various aspects related to their formation and potential applications.

A cobalt-sulfur cluster Co8S15 with molecular formula of (C60Ar5)-Co8S15(n)Bu2-(C60Ar5) (Ar = 4-(t)BuC6H4) was selectively synthesized from a pentaaryl[60]fullerene cobalt trisulfide complex, (η(5)-C60Ar5)CoS3. The bowl-shaped steric templating fullerene ligand, as well as the metastable cobalt trisulfide moiety, played important roles in the exclusive cluster formation. X-ray crystallography, as well as electrochemical, time-resolved photophysical, and magnetic, measurements revealed a mixed-valence cluster with six cobalt(III) and two high-spin cobalt(II) centers showing reversible redox behavior and photoinduced charge separation.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes how the size of substituents on aryl groups affects the solid-state structures and packing of fifteen pentaaryl-1-hydro[60]fullerenes.
- These compounds typically have a "badminton shuttlecock" shape, leading many to crystallize in columnar stacks, while others form unique non-stacked arrangements like dimers or layered structures.
- Computational modeling helped identify the optimal shape fit for the molecules, with the best results found for those with large, spherically shaped substituents, confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction which characterized 34 different crystal structures.
