Abstract

Dimers are a girl's best friend: The title reaction allows the formation of single-bonded fullerene dimers with extremely high chemical yield and high compatibility with various functional groups, which are highly soluble in organic solvents. The use of Cu(OAc) ₂ catalyst with dimethylformamide or acetonitrile as additives under air is the critical factor in achieving the highly efficient catalytic dimerization.
