A large hole in a fullerene: The addition of dioxygen to the highly reactive 1,4‐diaminobutadiene moiety of 1 , formed from the reaction of C 60 with a rigid diazidobutadiene, results in the very efficient formation of an open fullerene (see the space‐filling model) with the largest orifice created so far on a fullerene. The opening may be large enough to allow the smallest atoms, molecules, or ions to pass through.
