A crystalline anionic complex of scandium nitride endometallofullerene: experimental observation of single-bonded (Sc3N@Ih-C80−)2 dimers†
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reduction of scandium nitride clusterfullerene, Sc3N@Ih-C80, by sodium fluorenone ketyl in the presence of cryptand[2,2,2] allows the crystallization of the {cryptand[2,2,2](Na(+))}2(Sc3N@Ih-C80(-))2·2.5C6H4Cl2 (1) salt. The Sc3N@Ih-C80˙(-) radical anions are dimerized to form single-bonded (Sc3N@Ih-C80(-))2 dimers.

Sc3N@Ih-C80 as a novel Lewis acid to trap abnormal N-heterocyclic carbenes: the unprecedented formation of a singly bonded [6,6,6]-adduct
The reaction between an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), namely 1,3-bis(diisopropylphenyl)-imidazol-2ylene (1), and Sc3N@Ih-C80 successfully affords a Lewis acid–base pair (2a). Single crystal X-ray crystallographic results unambiguously reveal the unexpected structure of 2a where the abnormal carbene center of the NHC is connected to a triple-hexagon-junction (THJ) carbon atom of Sc3N@IhC80 via a...
متن کاملAn efficient method to separate Sc3N@C80 Ih and D5h isomers and Sc3N@C78 by selective oxidation with acetylferrocenium [Fe(COCH3C5H4)Cp]+.
Based on the different oxidation potentials of endohedral fullerenes Sc3N@C80 Ih and D5h and Sc3N@C78, an efficient and useful method that avoids HPLC has been developed for their separation. Selective chemical oxidation of the Sc3N@D5h-C80 isomer and Sc3N@C78 by using an acetylferrocenium salt [Fe(COCH3C5H4)Cp](+) followed by column chromatographic separation and reduction with CH3SNa resulted...
متن کاملScandium carbide/cyanide alloyed cluster inside fullerene cage: synthesis and structural studies of Sc3(μ3-C2)(μ3-CN)@Ih-C80.
A new Sc3(C2)(CN)@Ih-C80 metallofullerene encaging a scandium carbide/cyanide alloyed cluster was prepared and investigated. Sc3(C2)(CN)@Ih-C80 was synthesized by the arc-discharging method and isolated by HPLC. Its experimental (13)C NMR spectrum with two signals clearly confirms an icosahedral C80 cage, and theoretically calculated (13)C NMR peaks agree well with the experimental results. Fur...
متن کاملHemicarceplex formation allows ready identification of the isomers of the metallofullerene Sc3N@C80 using (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy.
A cyclotriveratrylene-based molecular cage forms hemicarceplexes that significantly increase the solubility of commercially available Sc3N@C80 in CDCl3. When incarcerated within the molecular cage, the two structural isomers of this metallofullerene, Sc3N@D5h-C80 and Sc3N@Ih-C80, displayed characteristic signals in both (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra, allowing direct identification of each isomer w...

focus of fundamental and applied materials research since the first preparation of macroscopic C60 quantities by Krätschmer et al. in 1990 [1]. The ability to encage atoms and small molecules opened the door to new structures which are highly reactive under standard conditions. Up to now low production yields and a time consuming multi stage separation hampered the search for applications of en...
