1-ELECTRON, 2-ELECTRON AND 3-ELECTRON REDUCTION OF C-60 USING THE ELECTRON-RESERVOIR COMPLEX [FE(1)(C5H5)(C6ME6)]
Abstract
The reaction between the 19-electron complex [FeI(C5H5)(C6Me6)] 1 and C60 in toluene gives the paramagnetic salts (1+)C60-, (1+)C-2(60)2- and (1+)C-3(60)3- depending on the stoichiometry of the reactants
