Abstract:
1. A method comprising: reacting at least one fullerene with indene, at least one substituted indene, or a combination thereof wherein the volume amount of any solvent in addition to the indene, substituted indene, or combination thereof, is less than about 20% with respect to the volume amount of indene, substituted indene, or combination thereof, and wherein the fullerene is fully solubilized, wherein at the start of the reaction the molar amount of indene, substituted indene, or combination thereof with respect to the molar amount of fullerene is at least about 300, and wherein the reacting provides a mixture of indene-fullerene reaction products, wherein the primary reaction product is a bis-, tris-, or tetra-substituted indene fullerene derivative.
