Crossing the bridge : Two isomeric iminofullerenes, [5,6]‐open azafulleroid 1 and [6,6]‐closed aziridinofullerene 2 , were prepared by cycloaddition of an organic azide to C 60 . These “azalogues” enable the study of the effects of the bridging atom in a fullerene cage, that is, C 60 ‐like (5,6‐open) versus PCBM‐like (6,6‐closed), as a function of their π systems (PCBM=[6,6]‐phenyl‐C 61 ‐butyric acid methyl ester).
