Photoactivated [3+2] Addition of 6,7-seco-angustilobine B to Fullerene [C60]

Hydroxyalkylation of [60]fullerene: free radical addition of alcohols to C60.

A new general reaction for the preparation of isomerically pure hydroxyalkylated C(60) monoadducts, via the free radical photochemical addition of alcohols to [60]fullerene, is described.

Insertion of Be Atoms in C60 Fullerene Cages: Be@ C60.

A DFT study of addition reaction between fragment ion (CH2) units and fullerene (C60) molecule

The theoretical study of the interaction between CH(2) and fullerene (C(60)) suggests the existence of an addition reaction mechanism; this feature is studied by applying an analysis of electronic properties. Several different effects are evident in this interaction as a consequence of the particular electronic transfer which occurs during the procedure. The addition or insertion of the methyle...

Hyperpolarizability of the C60 fullerene cluster

Motivated by a discrepancy of five orders of magnitude between three different hyperpolarizability measurements on the CGO fullerene, we calculated the optical response of this cluster using a tight-binding Hamiltonian and compared the results to those for a benzene molecule. Our Hamiltonian reproduces the linear polarizability and hyperpolarizability of benzene reasonably well. For C60, our ca...

Anti-Influenza Activity of C60 Fullerene Derivatives

The H1N1 influenza A virus, which originated in swine, caused a global pandemic in 2009, and the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus has also caused epidemics in Southeast Asia in recent years. Thus, the threat from influenza A remains a serious global health issue, and novel drugs that target these viruses are highly desirable. Influenza A RNA polymerase consists of the PA, PB1, and P...
