Synthesis, Identification, and Solubility of Adducts of Aldonitrones to Light Fullerenes in Toluene and O-xylene

Abstract

In this paper, a synthesis of the four adducts of aldonitrones to light fullerenes (C₆₀ and C₇₀) is described. Identifications of adducts were conducted using infrared and electron spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance, elemental analysis, and mass-spectrometry method. In the temperature range 20–80°С we studied the dependences of solubility of these adducts in aromatic solvents—toluene and o-xylene.
