Preparation of Azafullerene Derivatives from Fullerene-Mixed Peroxides and Single Crystal X-ray Structures of Azafulleroid and Azafullerene

Azafullerene was prepared by addition of hydroxylamine to a cage-opened fullerendione derivative and subsequent PCl5 induced rearrangement processes. X-ray structures were obtained for the azafullerene and its azafulleroid precursor.
