Abstract:

The catalytic role of MV 2+ in the electron transfer reaction between C 60 and Et 3N was directly proved by means of ESR technique. The active radical intermediate produced during the catalysis was confirmed to be MV +• andC 60-•radicals. In contrast, without the presence of MV 2+ the process of the electron transfer can not proceed at room temperature any more.

Key words: Electron transfer reaction, C60, Methyl viologen, Catalysis
