A C60-aryne building block: synthesis of a hybrid all-carbon nanostructure

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 May 10;52(40):6677-80. doi: 10.1039/c5cc10462a.

Abstract

The synthesis of a [60]fullerene-benzyne building block and its further chemical cycloaddition reaction with graphene has resulted in a new all-carbon hybrid material which has been characterized by TGA, FTIR and Raman spectroscopies, XPS as well as AFM and TEM. Based on computational studies, the formation of both [2+2] and [4+2] cycloadducts on the graphene surface is feasible.
