Electrochemical benzylation of [60]fullerene-fused lactones with different motifs unexpectedly affords three types of ring-opened benzylated adducts under different conditions. Both [60]fullerene-fused δ- and γ-lactones can be benzylated to generate ring-opened mono- and bis-benzylated adducts in good yields. In addition, representative fullerene products have been applied as efficient electron-transport materials in perovskite solar cells.
