Abstract: A dithienylethene-containing fullerocyclopropane was synthesized by the catalytic reaction of the carbon cluster with diazoalkane generated in situ by the oxidation of a corresponding photochrome hydrazone with MnO₂ in the presence of the Pd(acac)₂–2PPh₃–4Et₃Al catalyst, and the photochromic properties of the synthesized methanofullerene were evaluated.
