Exohedral functionalization of endohedral fullerenes is essential to increase their solubility and explore their properties and potential applications in nanomaterial science.[i] At the present, few bis-derivatives have been reported, mainly because of the low yields and large number of isomeric products obtained.[ii] Dorn et al. and Akasaka et al. suggested than bis-adduct formation appears to be controlled by the metal or metallic cluster inside. Here we report the use of a well known method (tether-directed remote multifunctionalization)[iii] for the bis-functionalization of new endohedral fullerene bis-derivatives and compare the results to those observed for independent bis-pyrrolidine additions.

Figure 1. a) Bis-adduct derivative of M3N@Ih-C80 using the tether-directed remote multifunctionalization method (M = Lu, Sc). b) Bis-pyrrolidine derivative of M3N@Ih-C80 using two independent additions (M = Lu, Sc).
