Abstract

C60H2 has been synthesized by ultrasonically irradiating solutions of C60 in decahydronaphthalene. This synthesis can be understood as a secondary reaction arising from the production of atomic hydrogen during sonolysis of the solvent. Continued sonication results in the eventual disappearance of both C60 and C60H2 from the solution as monitored by UV-vis spectrophotometry. This disappearance, along with the complete absence of more highly hydrogenated derivatives, suggests that the C60 experiences a high-energy environment during ultrasonic irradiation.
