Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Jun 7:(21):2450-2. doi: 10.1039/b804393k. Epub 2008 Apr 16.

Abstract

A Th-symmetrical C60 hexakis-adduct bearing 12 peripheral azide groups has been prepared and used to produce functionalized derivatives by the copper mediated Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and alkynes.
