چکیده

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 in the isolation of pure Sc3N@Ih-C80, Sc3N@C78, and a mixture of Sc3N@D5h-C80 and Sc3N@C68.

Hemicarceplex 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...

Reactivity differences of Sc3N@C(2n) (2n = 68 and 80). Synthesis of the first methanofullerene derivatives of Sc3N@D(5h)-C80.

Using a purification method introduced earlier based on redox properties it was possible to isolate Sc3N@I(h)-C80 and Sc3N@D(3h)-C78 and a mixture of Sc3N@D(5h)-C80 and Sc3N@D3-C68. Taking advantage of their chemical reactivity differences, Sc3N@D(5h)-C80 was isolated from Sc3N@D3-C68 followed by further functionalization, giving rise to five new methano-derivatives of Sc3N@D(5h)-C80.

A crystalline anionic complex of scandium nitride endometallofullerene: experimental observation of single-bonded (Sc3N@Ih-C80−)2 dimers†

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...

The electronic structure and charge transfer excited states of the endohedral trimetallic nitride C80 (I(h)) fullerenes-Zn-tetraphenyl porphyrin dyads.

Endohedral fullerenes offer the possibility of tuning their properties through a choice of the endohedral unit. The Sc3N@C80 fullerene is the most abundant fullerene after C60 and C70. Recently, Sc3N@C80 has been tested for light harvesting properties with encouraging results. In this work, we study the electronic structure of three endohedral fullerene-Zn tetraphenyl porphyrin complexes using ...
