Abstract
Hydrogenated fullerenes are of interest as a starting material in metal fulleride synthesis. By reacting C
60
H
2
with various metals, alloyed metal fullerides could be produced. To achieve this goal, first a reliable synthesis of C
60
H
2
must be determined. C
60
H
2
is difficult to synthesis exclusively; C
60
H
4
and C
60
H
6
are also produced. Reduction of C
60
with NaBH
4
produced a mixture of products as well as excessive unreacted C
60
. Attempts to modify this reaction to achieve C
60
H
2
exclusively were unsuccessful. A novel route was explored by reducing C
60
with thiophenol. This reaction produced C
60
H
2
after 4 days. In an effort to speed up the reaction time, C
60
was reduced with Zn(Cu) and thiophenol as a proton source. This reaction appeared to yield a mixture of 1,2 C
60
H
2
and 1,4 C
60
H
2
.
