Redox Properties of 1, 2-Dihydro (60) fullerene Derivatives with Electron-Withdrawing Substituents

摘要

The cyclic voltammograms of 1-cyano-2-hydroxy-1, 2-dihydrofullerene derivatives indicate a complex redox behavior. The first reduction peak of these new compounds is at less negative values compared to the parent [60] fullerene. This is a consequence of the two electron-withdrawing groups, which are attached directly to the C_(60) moiety.
