Description
Alkylnaphthalenes are not able to form Diels-Alder adducts with C70 fullerene but selected alkylnaphthalenes are able to yield weak charge-transfer complexes (CTC) with C70. More in detail, 1-methylnaphthalene, 2-ethylnaphthalene, and pure naphthalene are not able to produce neither Diels-Alder adducts with C70 fullerene nor CTC. Instead, 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene, 2,6-diethylnaphthalene yield weak 1:1 CTC with C70 fullerene. These CTC are decomposed above ambient temperature. The conjugated diene 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentadiene initially forms a weak 1:1 CTC with C70 and evolves into a Diels-Alder multiple adduct where C70 acts as a multisite dienophile.

Nucleosynthesis and molecular processes in the late stages of Stellar Evolution
Low- to intermediate-mass (M < 8 solar masses, Ms) stars represent the majority of stars in the Cosmos. They finish their lives on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) - just before they form planetary nebulae (PNe) - where they experience complex nucleosynthetic and molecular processes. AGB stars are important contributors to the enrichment of the
