A novel open-cage fullerene derivative having a C69O framework was synthesized, demonstrating that the reactivity of an open-cage C70 with a tetraketone moiety was quite different compared with its C60 analogue. The structure of the open-cage C69O was unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and its electrochemical properties were compared with its sulfur analogue.
