A [2+2] cycloaddition cap-to-cap C70 dimer with C2h, molecular symmetry was synthesized in high yield by pressure treatment of polycrystalline C70 at 1 GPa and 200 °C. It was separated from unreacted monomers by chromatography and characterized by 13C NMR, Raman, and infrared spectroscopy, and other methods. Remarkably, only one isomer was produced out of the five possible [2+2] cycloaddition products which have equally low formation energies according to semiempirical modeling calculations. The dimer obtained is the one favored when C70 molecules adopt an ordered packing with parallel D5 axes. The intercage bonding in C140, its thermal stability, and intercage vibrational modes are similar to those found for the C60 dimer, C120. Both dimers photodissociate to the monomers in solution, probably via excited triplet states. The UV absorption and fluorescence properties of C140 are not very different from those of C70, suggesting only weak electronic interactions between the two cages of C140. In comparison, the pressure-induced dimerization of C60, under the conditions used for C70, results mainly in C60 oligomers and polymeric chains, but the dimer C120 could be isolated at low yield when short reaction times (≤5 min) were used.

The photoinduced electron transfer between C70 and tetrathiafulvalene or bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene in polar and nonpolar solvents and their mixture has been investigated by nanosecond laser photolysis/transient absorption spectroscopy in the visible and near-IR regions.The transient absorption bands of the triplet state of C70 observed in polar solvents decayed upon addition of tetrathiafulvalenes accompanied by the appearance of the transient absorption bands of the radical anion of C70.In benzene, the quenching of the triplet state of C70 was observed without the appearance of the radical anion of C70 within a nanosecond laser pulse, suggesting a collisional quenching of the triplet state of C70 with tetrathiafulvalenes.The quantum yield for the formation of the radical anion via the triplet state of C70 was about 1 for tetrathiafulvalene in benzonitrile.The quantum yield decreased in less polar solvents.The back electron transfer rates were also evaluated in polar solvents.
The chemical retro-Bingel reaction: Selective removal of bis(alkoxycarbonyl)methano addends from C60 and C70 with amalgamated magnesium

Bis(alkoxycarbonyl)methano addends are removed from C60 and C70 derivatives by reaction with amalgamated magnesium in dry THF; this facile and selective retro-Bingel reaction, which leaves pyrrolidine rings fused to C60 intact, opens up the possibility of using bis(alkoxycarbonyl)methano addends as protecting and reversible directing groups in the regioselective multiple functionalization of fullerenes.

(Chemical Equation Presented) All things retro: Pyrrolidinofullerenes undergo a retro-cycloaddition reaction to afford the corresponding fullerene (C60, C70, or an endohedral C80 metallofullerene; see scheme) in quantitative yield upon treatment with an excess of a dipolarophile (maleic anhydride or N-phenyl-maleimide) in o-dichlorobenzene. The reaction works efficiently with higher fullerenes and has allowed the isolation of one of the constitutional isomers of Sc 3N@C80.
Unimolecular dissociations of C70+ and its noble gas endohedral cations Ne@C70+ and Ar@C70 +: Cage-binding energies for C2 loss

The energetics and dynamics of unimolecular decompositions of C 70+ and its noble gas endohedral cations, Ne@C 70+ and Ar@C70+, have been studied using tandem mass spectrometry techniques. The high-resolution mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy (HR-MIKE) spectra for the unimolecular reactions of C 70+, Ne@C70+, and Ar@C 70+ were recorded by scanning the electrostatic analyzer and using single-ion counting that was achieved by combination of an electron multiplier, amplifier/discriminator, and multichannel analyzer. These cations dissociate unimolecularly via loss of a C2 unit, and no endohedral atom is observed as fragment. The activation energies for C2 evaporation from Ne@C70+ and Ar@C70+ are lower than those for elimination of the endohedral noble gas atoms. The kinetic energy release distributions (KERDs) for the C2 evaporation have been measured and, by use of the finite heat bath theory (FHBT), the binding energies for the C2 emission have been deduced from the KERDs. The C2 evaporation energies increase in the order ΔEvap(C70+) vap(Ne@C70+) vap(Ar@C70+), but no big difference in the cage binding was observed for C70+, Ne@C70 +, and Ar@C70+, indicating incorporations of the Ne and Ar atoms into C70 contribute a little to the stability of C70 toward C2 loss, which is in good agreement with theoretical calculations but contrasts with the findings in their C60 analogues and in metallofullerenes that the decay energies of the filled fullerenes are much higher than those of the corresponding empty cages.

The Arbuzov-type reaction of chlorofullerene C70Cl10 with P(OEt)3 leads to the formation of C70[P(O)(OEt) 2]H and C70[P(O)(OEt)2]2H 2, whose molecular struc
Self-crystallization of C70 cubes and remarkable enhancement of photoluminescence
Park, Chibeom,Yoon, Eunjin,Kawano, Masaki,Joo, Taiha,Choi, Hee Cheul
, p. 9670 - 9675 (2010)
Good solvent, poor solvent: A simple precipitation method enabled the spontaneous formation of homogeneous C70 cube crystals by self-crystallization in cavities of a good solvent (mesitylene) surrounded by a poor solvent (isopropyl alcohol, IPA; see picture). The enormously increased photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the C70 cube crystals relative to that of C70 powder was mainly attributed to the high crystallinity of the cubes. Copyright
Preparation of enantiomerically pure C76 with a general electrochemical method for the removal of Di(alkoxycarbonyl)methano bridges from methanofullerenes: The retro-bingel reaction

Serendipitously discovered during electrochemical investigations on the stability of anion 1, a preparatively useful electrochemical procedure, the retro-Bingel reaction, has been identified as a method for removing di(alkoxycarbonyl)methano bridges from methanofullerenes. This procedure was applied to prepare the first samples of enantiomerically pure D2-C76 with unambiguous optical purity.

2,6-Bis(porphyrin)-substituted 3,5-dimethylpyrazine and its zinc complex bound C70 to yield 1:1 inclusion complexes, which were characterised by ESI-MS, UV-vis, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopies. Association constants of the C70 complexes were determined by fluorescence and NMR spectral analyses. A decrease in absorbance of the Soret band of the pyrazine derivative by the effect of C70 was observed, suggesting the existence of a charge transfer interaction between C70 and porphyrin. Experimentally reliable values for the association constants were obtained by the NMR method and were about six times larger than those of the corresponding C60 complexes. Palladium complexation of the porphyrin-pyrazine ligand was found to enhance the association with fullerene. The association constant of 2,6-bis(porphyrin-Zn)- substituted 3,5-dimethylpyrazine-Pd(II) complex with C70 was determined to be 8400±900M-1. From the comparison of the association constants, it was found that inclusion room for C70 in the Pd(II) complex was maintained, juxtaposed between porphyrins attached to the opposite sides of the pyrazine ligands.
Structural Phase Transformations in C70

Powder X-ray diffraction shows that on sublimation, solvent free C70 crystallizes in a hexagonal close packed (HCP1) arrangement with small admixture of a second hexagonal close placked (HCP2) phase as well as a face centred cubic (FCC) phase, the proportions of which are progressively transformed by annealing in vacuo at 300 deg C via HCP2 to FCC.
