Abstract

In recent decades, the functionalization of fullerenes has become a topic of interest in the scientific community due to the significant applications of these compounds in such research fields as biomedicine, materials science, and photovoltaic cells development. When fullerenes are functionalized, their properties can be modified, making it possible to expand their applicability in these different areas. This study presents a method for functionalizing C60 through cyclization reactions with 1,6-enynes catalyzed by transition metals such as rhodium and ruthenium. By employing different rhodium and ruthenium catalytic systems and optimizing the reaction conditions, a diversified synthesis of functionalized fullerenes is achieved from the same starting substrates.
