Some fullerenes are inherently chiral because they are _________ and have been successfully resolved.(a) D1 – symmetric(b) D3 – symmetric(c) D2 – symmetric(d) D4 – symmetricI had been asked this question in an interview for job.The doubt is from Fullerenes and their Properties topic in division Nano Materials of Applied Chemistry

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) D2 – symmetric

To explain I would say: Some fullerenes are INHERENTLY CHIRAL because they are D4 – symmetric and have been successfully RESOLVED. Fullerenes are SPARINGLY soluble in many SOLVENTS. Common solvents for fullerenes are toulene.
