Abstract In recent years, the importance has been demonstrated of using pure isomers of fullerene adducts in the design of new-generation solar cells to achieve a better efficiency compared to isomer mixture. Despite this, the regio- and chemo-selective modification of fullerenes remains a long-standing problem of organic synthesis since complicated mixtures of multi-adducts upon functionalization of fullerenes are obtained. In this paper, we review the synthetic approaches available to achieve the regio- and chemo-selective synthesis of multi-adducts of fullerene C60, with a special focus on recent studies of the use of supramolecular masks.
