Transition metal fullerene complex

A transition metal fullerene complex is a coordination complex wherein fullerene serves as a ligand. Fullerenes are typically spheroidal carbon compounds, the most prevalent being buckminsterfullerene, C60.[2]

One year after it was prepared in milligram quantities in 1990,[3] C60 was shown to function as a ligand in the complex [Ph3P]2Pt(η2-C60).[4]

Since this report, a variety of transition metals and binding modes were demonstrated. Most transition metal fullerene complex are derived from C60, although other fullerenes also coordinate to metals as seen with C70Rh(H)(CO)(PPh3)2.[5]
