Abstract

The piperazine double addition product, e{N(CH2CH2)2N}2C60, has its donor atoms positioned to bind Lewis acids in a defined fashion in two orthogonal directions. It has been used to construct crystalline, one- and two-dimensional polymers through reactions with diiodine and the rhodium(II) acetate dimer.
