Abstract
C70Ph8 spontaneously oxidises in air to form a bis-lactone C70Ph8O4, having an eleven-membered hole in the fullerene cage; the reaction is believed to proceed via insertion of oxygen into 5,6 bonds followed by oxidative cleavage of the adjacent double bond, a process which has a precedent in the spontaneous oxidation of vinyl ethers to esters.Keywords
