Fullerene oxides and ozonides

Oxygen adducts were among the first reported fullerene derivatives, and they have continued to be the subject of many subsequent investigations by experimental and theoretical researchers. A literature survey is presented summarizing the preparation, purification, characterization, and stabilities of fullerene oxides and ozonides. Published data on the 13C NMR spectra, thermal dissociation reaction products and kinetics, and photolysis products of these compounds are compiled and presented in tabular form.
