Abstract

A C(56)H(40) hydrocarbon possessing a 54-carbon framework represented on the surface of C(60) was synthesized by solution-phase chemistry. The structure of this hydrocarbon has a 30-carbon core, which can be regarded as a partially hydrogenated [5,5]circulene, a C(30)H(12) semibuckminsterfullerene, with only one of the carbon-carbon bonds remaining unconnected. The central 30-carbon core is fused with two indeno groups and bears two phenyl and two methyl substituents.
