1. General Considerations Unless otherwise noted, all materials including dry solvents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. Tetrabutylammonium Decatungstate (TBADT) was prepared according to procedure reported in the literature. 1 1 NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker AMX-500 Mz (125 Mz for 13 C) and DPX-300 Mz (75 Mz for 13 C) spectrometers, in CDCl 3, CDCl 3 /CS 2 or DCB-d 4 solutions. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm downfield from Me 4 Si, by using the residual solvent peak as internal standard. FT-IR spectra were recorded on a PerkinElmer Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, using KBr pellets. UV-vis spectra were performed on a Shimadzu MultiSpec-1501 UV/Visible spectrometer. PLC analysis was conducted on a Marathon III instrument equipped with a 5C18-MS (4.6 250 mm, Nacalai Tesque) reversed phase column with detection at 310 nm. A mixture of toluene/acetonitrile (1:1 v/v) was used as eluent at 1 ml/min flow rate. Semi-preparative PLC was performed with a Marathon III instrument equipped with a Cosmosil 5PBB column (10 250 mm, Nacalai Tesque) with detection at 310 nm. A mixture of toluene/acetonitrile (4:1 v/v) was used as eluent (unless otherwise noted) at 5 ml/min flow rate. Flash column chromatography was carried out on Si 2 (silica gel 60, SDS, 230-400 mesh ASTM). Evaporation of the solvents was accomplished with a rotary evaporator or by high vacuum distillation. Negative-ion MALDI spectra were recorded for all the new compounds using DCTB as the matrix. GC-MS analysis was performed on a Shimadzu GC MS-QP5050A apparatus equipped with a Supelco capillary column (MDN-5, 30m 0.25mm, 0.25μm film thickness) and a 5971A MS detector. Photochemical reactions were carried out by using a 300-W xenon lamp as the light source. 1 See reference 7b. S2

2. General Procedure for the TBADT-Catalyzed Photochemical Reactions of Aldehydes 1 14 with C 60 Unless otherwise noted in the individual procedures below, a solution of C 60 (20 mg, 0.028 mmol) in a mixture of chlorobenzene/acetonitrile 85:15 (80 ml) was added in a 150-mL glass flask containing a magnetic stirring bar. This solution was degassed by performing three freeze-pump-thaw cycles under argon, and then TBADT (18.5 mg, 0.0056 mmol) and the aldehyde substrate (2.7 mmol) were added. The resulting solution was serum capped and purged for 20 min with argon. This solution was subsequently irradiated at 5 10 C using an ice water bath, while a constant, slow argon stream was maintained over the solution (the progress of all reactions was monitored by PLC). Then, the solvent and the aldehyde 1 14 were distilled from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, and the remaining crude product was centrifuged three times with acetonitrile PLC grade. The isolated product was further purified by flash column chromatography (eluent: hexane/toluene 4:1 v/v) and/or semi-preparative PLC (eluent: toluene/acetonitrile 4:1 v/v, 5 ml/min flow rate, detection at 310 nm) to afford the fullerene adducts 1a 11a, 13a 14a and 9b 12b, along with a small amount of a complex mixture of several unidentified byproducts. During the purification procedure, we noticed that adducts 1 5 were almost quantitively converted into the hydrogenated fullerene adduct C 60 2 when treated with silica or alumina gel. 2 Thus, adducts 1a 5a were purified with semi-preparative PLC (eluent: toluene/acetonitrile 4:1 v/v, 5 ml/min flow rate, detection at 310 nm). Blank experiments in the absence of TBADT showed that a small but considerable amount of the corresponding fullerene adducts could be formed, in the reaction of aromatic aldehydes 1 4 with C 60. This result should be rationalized on the -atom abstraction ability of the excited triplet state (n-π * ) of the carbonyl group in benzaldehydes. 2 C 60 2 : IR (KBr): ν (cm -1 ) = 2954, 1427, 1263, 1183, 1041, 577, 566, 550, 527; UV-vis (CCl 3 ): λ max (nm) = 257, 328, 405, 433; MS (MALDI, negative, DCTB): m/z 722; 1 NMR (500 Mz, CDCl 3 /CS 2 ): δ 7.00 (s, 1); See also reference 15.
