Abstract

Abstract : Under photochemical irradiation conditions, structural rearrangements of 17-mem C60 took place to give novel 14-mem C60 with a small opening. Abstract : Upon irradiation of a sulfoxide C60 derivative with a 17-membered-ring opening, rearrangement of the carbon framework took place to give an unprecedented lactone C60 derivative with a 14-membered-ring opening, whose structure was unambiguously determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. This reaction is completely different from that of the previously reported sulfoxide C60 and C70 derivatives with a 13-membered-ring opening.
