The
reaction of <i>N</i>-fluorobenzenesulfonimide
(NFSI) with C<sub>60</sub> and exploration of the product as a precursor
for various
1,2- and 1,4-bisfullerene adducts are reported. NFSI is also found
to act as an oxidant in the reaction of C<sub>60</sub> with cyclic
amines such as pyrrolidine yielding tetraaminoaziridino
adducts
