The ionic conductivity of Li(+)@C60 was measured in o-dichlorobenzene, and found to be higher than that of TBA(+)PF6(-). Electrochemical reduction of Li(+)@C60 without any supporting electrolyte gave the monovalent radical anion Li(+)@C60˙(-), as confirmed by the characteristic ESR signal and NIR absorption band.
