Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Newcomers on the scene</bold>: The modification of endohedral metallofullerenes with an <italic>I_h</italic>‐C₈₀ cage by cyclopropanation‐type addition reactions generally yields the [6, 6] methanofullerene adducts. Now [5, 6]‐open methanofullerenes with an <italic>I_h</italic>‐C₈₀‐derived cage have been synthesized, as confirmed by X‐ray crystallography, under relatively mild, stoichiometric conditions along with the corresponding [6, 6]‐open derivatives in good yields.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t72qqm6" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
