Stonewales Transformation Paths in Fullerene C 60

The mechanisms of formation of a metastable defect isomer of fullerene C 60 due to the Stone-Wales transformation are theoretically studied. It is demonstrated that the paths of the " dynamic " Stone-Wales transformation at a high (sufficient for overcoming potential barriers) temperature can differ from the two " adiabatic " transformation paths discussed in the literature. This behavior is du...

Aromatic tripodal receptors for (C(60)-I(h))[5,6]fullerene.

Monotopic and ditopic tripodal benzene platforms featuring aromatic and perfluoroaromatic side-arms have been synthesized, and their binding properties toward C(60)-fullerene have been investigated by HPLC examining retention times on a fullerene-modified silica stationary phase, using highly polar eluants (acetonitrile and acetonitrile/water). By comparison of structurally homogeneous sets of ...

A Highly Selective Vanadium Catalyst for Benzylic C-H Oxidation.

Vanadium complexes have been used extensively to catalyze olefin and alcohol oxidation. However, their application in C-H oxidation has not been well-studied. We report herein that commercially available Cp(2)VCl(2) catalyzes benzylic C-H oxidation selectively and effectively, giving no aromatic oxidation products.
