Endohedral fullerenes: Synthesis, isolation, mono- and bis-functionalization

Synthesis of endohedral iron-fullerenes by ion implantation.

In this paper, we discuss the results of our study of the synthesis of endohedral iron-fullerenes. A low energy Fe(+) ion beam was irradiated to C60 thin film by using a deceleration system. Fe(+)-irradiated C60 thin film was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography and laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We investigated the performance of the deceleration s...

Spin Quantum Computing with Endohedral Fullerenes

Vibrational properties of noble gas endohedral fullerenes.

Analysis of IR and Raman spectra of Ar@C(60) and Kr@C(60) shows that the incorporation of noble gas atoms causes a blue shift of low energy vibrations, which have radial character, and a red shift of higher energy ones which have a tangential character movement. The mechanism of these phenomena is explained on the basis of ab initio numerical experiments with DFT and MP2 procedures. Methodologi...

Cu-phthalocyanine Coated Hybrid Magnetic Nanoparticles: Preparation and Application in the Synthesis of Mono- and Bis pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinones and mono- and Bis-2-amino-4H-pyrans

In this research, Cu-phthalocyanine coated hybrid magnetic nanoparticles have been prepared in a simple method and evaluated as an efficient catalyst in the preparation of mono- and bis-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinones and mono- and bis-2-amino-4H-pyrans from the condensation reaction of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid or 4-hydroxycumarin with malononitrile and mono- and bis-aldehydes under ultrasoni...
