Synthesis of fullerenyl-1,2,3-triazoles by reaction of fullerenyl azide with terminal acetylenes

Org Biomol Chem. 2021 Nov 3;19(42):9299-9305. doi: 10.1039/d1ob01483h.

Abstract

Fullerenyltriazoles were synthesized by the interaction of azidofullerene with terminal acetylenes, in which the heterocyclic fragment is directly attached to the fullerene core. The electrochemical studies of the synthesized triazole-containing fullerenes have proved that the potentials of the first reduction peaks are shifted to a less cathodic region compared to unmodified C60. According to theoretical calculations, synthesized fullerene C60 derivatives can be considered as promising acceptor components of organic solar cells.
