The viability of facile oxidation and cycloaddition of fullerene C60 with ruthenium tetraoxide (RuO4) has been confirmed by means of density functional theory calculations. Owing to the powerful capability of RuO4 as an oxidant, the addition process has been found to occur readily in the absence...
