[60]Fullerene–flavonoid dyads

A range of fullerene–chalcone, fullerene–flavone, and fullerene–chromone dyads, including a bis(flavonyl)-fullerene dyad, were prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of azomethine ylides to C60 and by cyclopropanation of C60 with flavonyl malonates. Synthetic and natural flavonoid derivatives were used as starting materials.
