Abstract

Abstract : Macrocyclic compounds have been extensively studied because of their widespread applications. Most classical macrocyclic compounds are planar molecules. In their Communication on page 14590 ff., L. B. Gan and co‐workers report a N, O‐heterocycle created on the C60 cage skeleton through a multistep procedure, which includes repeated PCl5 ‐induced hydroxylamino N−O bond cleavage, and also piperidine‐induced peroxo O−O bond cleavage. The fullerene‐based macrocycle showed unique reactivity towards fluoride ions and copper salts.
