Abstract

Abstract : Open the cage if you dare : The azahomoazafullerene 1 was prepared from a tert ‐butylperoxy‐substituted azafullerene derivative C59 NBr(OO t Bu)4 . Singlet oxygen added to 1 to form an open‐cage azafullerene 2 with a ketoimide moiety on the rim of the orifice. The MALDI‐TOF mass spectrum of the product of the hydrolysis of 1 showed a clear signal for the diazafullerene C58 N2 (see structure 3 ).
