Abstract
C60–tetrazine Diels–Alder adducts bearing electron deficient dihydropyridazine groups undergo chemoselective amination and hydration reactions upon addition of primary aliphatic amines and water, respectively, to form new adducts with 4,5-dihydropyrazole groups nested atop the [60]fullerene skeleton.
