A new route to the formation of an electrochemically active film that contains fullerene units is reported. The method involves the reduction of C 60 to its dianion in the presence of dioxygen and produces a film (see Figure) that is similar, but not identical to films prepared by the electrochemical reduction of C 60 O. This new method of fullerence polymerization therefore avoids the need for the tedious preparation and purification of C 60 O. fig.
