We report details on the synthesis and electrochemistry of quinone-type methanofullerene derivatives in which, depending upon the substitution pattern on the cyclohexanedienone moiety, the reduction potential can be tuned, leading to novel fullerene derivatives exhibiting better acceptor properties than C 60 . We also present the lowest energy conformers of these spiroannulated methanofullerenes. As expected, the anthrone derivative is not coplanar and is not perpendicular to the ball's surface.
