Heating C60/C70 mixtures in toluene with excess KOH results in the formation of which of the following compounds?

Heating C60/C70 mixtures in toluene with excess KOH results in the formation of which of the following compounds? Correct Answer Fullerols

When C60/C70 mixtures are heated in toluene in the presence of excess KOH, precipitation of hydroxylated fullerenes (fullerols) takes place. The product formed is soluble in THF but decompose in the presence of air. Here, addition of hydroxide to C70 is much faster than to C60.
