Abstract

[structure: see text] Three novel fullerene derivatives bearing a 2,6-bis(acylamino) pyridine unit as a hydrogen bonding motif displaying a dimerization tendency were synthesized and characterized by the cycloaddition reaction of alkyl azide to [60]fullerene. An SEM image of the dimerization system of compound 1 indicated spherical particles having a mean diameter of 15 nm with a rather narrow size distribution.
