Abstract

New molecular complex of C60 with covalently linked (FeIIITPP)2O · C60 dimer has been obtained. The complex has isolated packing of fullerenes in which fullerene molecule is embraced in a pocket built by porphyrins. (FeIIITPP)2O preserves its initial geometry in the complex. The Fe···C(C60) contacts are in the 3.239-3.513 A range indicating the absence of Fe-C60 coordination. This results in the similarity of the EPR spectra of the complex and parent (FeIIITPP)2O.
