Thermal reaction of [60]fullerene with various arylmethanamines in the presence of aromatic aldehydes under air conditions afforded a series of rare 2,5-diaryl fulleropyrrolidines. Intriguingly, the obtained fulleropyrrolidines exhibited different stereoselectivity. N-unsubstituted arylmethanamines exclusively produced 2,5-diaryl fulleropyrrolidines as cis isomers, while N-substituted arylmethanamines with rare exceptions always gave 2,5-diaryl fulleropyrrolidines as trans isomers. Theoretical calculations at the level of B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) were employed to elucidate the stereoselectivity of N-substituted 2,5-diaryl fulleropyrrolidines as trans isomers by investigating the transition-state structures of different cycloaddition pathways.

The advancement of tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) has been severely hindered by the poor controllability of perovskite crystal growth and the energy level mismatch between the perovskite and fullerene-based electron transport layer (ETL). Here, we synthesized three cis-configured pyridyl-substituted fulleropyrrolidines (PPF), specifically 2-pyridyl (PPF2), 3-pyridyl (PPF3), and 4-pyridyl (PPF4), and utilized them as precursor additives to regulate the crystallization kinetics during film formation. The spatial distance between the two pyridine groups in PPF2, PPF3, and PPF4 increases sequentially, enabling PPF4 to interact with more perovskite colloidal particles.

The current study investigates SET-promoted photoaddition reactions of the silyl-group-containing -phenylglycinates and -phenylalaninates, -((trimethylsilyl)methyl)--phenyl-substituted glycinates and alaninates, respectively, with fullerene C to explore how the types of amino acid esters (AAEs) and molecular oxygen affect the photoaddition reaction efficiencies and chemoselectivity of in situ formed radical cations of AAEs. The results showed that under deoxygenated (N-purged) conditions, photoreactions of -phenylglycinates with C produced aminomethyl-1,2-dihydrofullerenes through the addition of α-amino radicals arising by sequential SET and desilylation processes from initially formed secondary anilines to C. In oxygenated conditions, photoreactions of -phenylglycinates with C, albeit less efficient, took place to form fulleropyrrolidines through a pathway involving 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides to C assisted by in situ formed O.

An aminomethylation reaction of fulleropyrrolidines bearing ketone moieties in the presence of -unsubstituted fulleropyrrolidines and paraformaldehyde with the aid of -toluenesulfonic acid afforded a series of scarce pendant fullerene dimers. A simple change of reaction substrates from ketone to ketone-containing fulleropyrrolidines successfully realized the synthesis of a variety of novel pendant fullerene dimers, including those from methyl ketone-containing fulleropyrrolidines, which were considered to produce the known bridged fullerene dimers. It should be noted that pendant fullerene dimers are usually difficult to prepare by other methods and may have promising applications in perovskite solar cells.
