Abstract

(matrix presented) The simple fullerene diols C₆₀(OH)₂ and C₇₀(OH)₂ were prepared by addition of RuO₄ followed by acid hydrolysis. The 1,2-C₆₀(OH)₂ isomer was formed from C₆₀, and two isomers (1,2 and 5,6) of C₇₀(OH)₂ were formed in the RuO₄ hydroxylation of C₇₀. These compounds are much more soluble in THF and dioxane than the parent fullerenes. More highly hydroxylated materials are formed as well.
