An unprecedented 1,4‐cycloadduct of C 60 and other sophisticated fullerene architectures were prepared through reductive functionalization. This method, starting with the two‐fold reduction of C 60 with potassium, closely resembles related reactions of carbon nanotubides and represents a so far only little explored concept of fullerene chemistry. Investigations on the scope of different electrophiles as addition partners including a series of tether systems with a predefined geometry provide both new insights of fullerene reactivity itself and new types of exohedral derivatives.
