Abstract
The preparation of a series of new ligands, comprising a NCN ligand (C{6}H{2}(CH{2}NMe{2}){2}-2, 6-X-4, X=H, Br, I) substituted on the para position with a [1,2]-methanofullerene group is described. Metallation of these ligands is achieved via an oxidative addition reaction of nickel(0) or palladium(0) complexes. The first step of this reaction
