Abstract

The fullerene family has interesting photophysical, electrochemical and mechanical properties with applications in organic solar cells, nanotechnology, superconductivity, chemosensors and biomedicine. Water-soluble cyclen-functionalised fullerene derivatives cyclen-C60 -1 and bis(cyclen)-C60 -2 have been synthesised. The whole synthetic routes are simple and the total yields are relatively high.
