Although a variety of host molecules have been studied extensively to elucidate the inclusion phenomena of buckminsterfullerene C60, the supramolecular properties of other fullerenes, including fullerene derivatives, are not yet well understood.[1–3] In contrast to Ih-symmetrical C60, these other fullerenes are perturbed structurally and electronically. It has been known that the electronic properties of [60] fullerene derivatives correlate well with the electronegativity of the attached atoms.[4] For example, the attachment of electronpositive silicon atoms considerably increase the electron density of the π systems of [60] fullerene derivatives.[4, 5] Recently we found that the carbon nanoring 1 (cyclic [6] paraphenyleneacetylene) forms stable inclusion complexes with the fullerenes C60, C70, and C61 (COOEt) 2 2 in solution as well as in the solid state.[2b, 6] Dynamic 1H NMR spectra have revealed the interesting features of these complexes: 1) the Gibbs activation energies for dissociation (ΔGdis) provide a reliable measure for evaluating the stability of the fullerene complexes and 2) the center of each fullerene is not aligned with the center of 1, and the activation energy for vibration of a C70 molecule around the center of the cavity is higher than the value for dissociation of the complex, while that of C60 is lower. These results can be attributed to the structural difference between C60 and C70. The inclusion phenomena of C70 have been studied from the viewpoint of purification of fullerenes;[2] however, the difference in the supramolecular properties of C60 and C70 has not been studied in detail so far. To explore the nature of the curved conjugated systems, and to construct new supramolecular structures based on fullerene derivatives,[7] we have studied the dynamic behavior of the complexes of 1 with several fullerene derivatives (3–10) including the silylated fullerenes 6 and 7.[5] New methanofullerene derivatives 3–5, 9, and 10 [8] were prepared in moderate yields by treating the corresponding malonic esters with fullerenes under the conditions used by Camps and Hirsch.[9] The formation and regiochemistry of these new compounds were confirmed by transesterification into the known derivatives 2 and 8.[10–12] Fullerene derivatives 3–10 form stable inclusion complexes with 1 in CD2Cl2 solutions.[13] Figure1 shows the spectral changes of 1· 7 and 1· 9 as typical examples. Similar to the 1H NMR spectra of 1· 2,[6b] the spectrum of 1 shows two singlets of equal intensity at À1008C in the presence of an equal amount of 3–7, but only one singlet at 308C. However, one of the aromatic signals of 1 that appears as a singlet in the presence of an equal amount of 8–10 at 308C begins to broaden at about À208C, and two relatively small singlets of equal intensity first appear at about À508C. The major signal finally splits into two singlets of equal intensity at À808C (Figure 1b). The spectral changes indicate that the methano [70] fullerene complexes should exist in an equilibrium mixture of two diastereomers (A and B) as shown in Scheme 1. The ratio of the isomers varies with the substituents and temperatures (A: B for 1· 8= ca. 9: 1, 1· 9= ca. 3: 1 and 1· 10= ca. 9: 1 at À808C). The NOE experiments of 1· 9 reveal that the major component is isomer A and the minor one is B. The chemical shifts of the inner protons (Ha and Hc) of both isomers resonate at about 0.4 ppm higher field than those of the outer protons (Hb and Hd) because of the anisotropy effect of the relatively flat midsection of C70. Analysis of the NMR spectra provide one ΔGvalue for 1· 3–7 and two ΔGvalues for 1· 8–10 (Table 1). The ΔGdis values of C60 derivatives are in the order 1> 2–5> 6> 7; the …
