Substituted fullerenes R x C 60 are reponsible for “spikes” in the ESR spectra (as shown) recorded during the reduction of pure C 60 samples. This finding was drawn from in situ ESR/Vis/NIR spectroelectrochemical and MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometric studies. The C 60 derivatives R x C 60 . −are formed by the reaction of C 60 dianions with typical organic solvents used in C 60 electrochemistry (C 60 $\rm{\mathop{\longrightarrow }^{+e^{-}}}$ C 60 .− $\rm{\mathop{\longrightarrow }^{+e^{-}}}$ C 60 2− $\mathop{\longrightarrow }^{o\hbox{-}{\rm DCB}\ {\rm or}\,\,{\rm AN/tol}.}$ R x C 60 .− ; o ‐DCB= o ‐dichlorobenzene, AN=acetonitrile, tol=toluene, R=C 6 H 3 Cl 2 or CH 2 CN).
