Thermoreversible Diels-Alder reactions of fullerenes: Applications in polymers and materials

Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions have played an essential role on chemical modification of fullerenes. The torsionally strained alkene system makes fullerenes excellent dienophiles, accommodating dienes which react in a reversible fashion. This research investigated the use of fullerene Diels-Ald...
