Abstract:

Functionalization of fullerenes is an important part of fullerene chemistry. Many novel fullerene derivatives have been synthesized during recent years, and the compounds have exhibited promising potentials in biomedical chemistry and organic solar cells. Compared with the rapid development of fullerene chemistry, progress on the fullerene thiolation is slow, which has attracted more attention recently. Herein, the latest progress on the thiolation reactions of fullerenes is reviewed, which includes the recent result from our group.

Key words: fullerenes, thiolation reactions, thiolated fullerene derivatives, reaction mechanism
