Research concerning reaction of phosphites with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and C (sub)60 to produce phosphite ylides has been conducted. Hydrolysis of these ylides used to introduce phosphonate ester, phosphine oxide and phosphonic acid to a fullerene moiety is described.

Research has been conducted on the C (sub)60 and acetylenes reaction with phosphines. Introduction of phosphorus substituents onto C (sub)60 is discussed.

A study was conducted to characterize the synthesis of angular triquinanes using an alpha-carbonyl radical cyclization technique. alpha-iodo ester was obtained through the mixture iodination while gas chromatography was carried out to analyze the optical purity of the triquinanes. X-ray analysis was also performed to support the stereochemistry of the chiral product. Results indicated that the angular triquinane supported high enantiomeric purity.
