Question
These molecules, or derivatives of them like PCBM, are the electron acceptors in most organic photovoltaics. An “at” symbol indicates noble gases are hosted “at” these molecules in endohedral complexes. These antiaromatic molecules can be repeatedly cyclopropanated at their [6,6] (“six six”) bonds to decorate a surface of sp2-hybridized atoms. These molecules dissolve in naphthalene to form violet solutions. These molecules were (*) accidentally discovered in 1985 from a 720-amu (“A-M-U”) peak in a mass spectrum, but are synthesized today by evaporating graphite. These molecules form truncated icosahedra that have 60 vertices and pentagonal and hexagonal faces. For 10 points, name these roughly spherical allotropes of carbon that resemble geodesic domes. ■END■
