Abstract

The C₇₀ δ-adducts with closed [5,6]-ring fusion are an important type of compound in classifying bond delocalization in the equatorial belt of C₇₀. However, the formation of such compounds is severely restricted due to the low reactivity of the carbon atoms in the flat equatorial region. Such a restriction is lifted when reduced anionic C₇₀ species are used, where the inert equatorial carbon atoms are activated.
