A series of fullerene derivatives based on methyl- and dimethyl-substituted o-xylenyl groups were synthesized via Diels-Alder reaction from fullerene (C60) and dienes derived from α,α′-dibromo-o-xylene derivatives. The synthesized 1-methyl-4,5-xylenyl- and 1,2-dimethyl-4,5-xylenyl-substituted fuller...
