Abstract

This chapter presents details on the chemistry of fullerenes, namely intramolecular nucleophilic addition reactions (Bingel-Hirsch reaction), 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of azomethyne ylides (Prato reaction), and Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions of ortho-quinodimethanes, and highlights aspects that relate to key topics in the so-called ‘organic molecular electronics’ field, namely molecular machines, molecular charge transfer systems, and molecular wires. A common feature to all these molecular systems is the presence of an electron donor covalently linked to an electron accepting fullerene through an organic bridge.
