Chemical oxidation of endohedral metallofullerenes: identification and separation of distinct classes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical oxidation is useful for solubilizing and separating endohedral metallofullerenes, as demonstrated here by a separation of three categories of Gd@C2n species and by the solubilization of Tm@C60+ and Tm@C70+ for the first time.

Non-Chromatographic Purification of Endohedral Metallofullerenes.
The purification of endohedral metallofullerenes by high performance liquid chromatography is very time-consuming and expensive. A number of rapid and inexpensive non-chromatographic methods have thus been developed for large-scale purification of metallofullerenes. In this review, we summarize recent advances in non-chromatographic purification methods of metallofullerenes. Lewis acid-based co...
متن کاملMaximum aromaticity or maximum pentagon separation; which is the origin behind the stability of endohedral metallofullerenes?
Two different interpretations have been recently proposed to rationalize the stabilization of some hosting cages in endohedral metallofullerenes as a consequence of the larger localization of the negative charge on pentagonal rather than on hexagonal faces. We try to figure out the physical origin that mainly governs the stability of charged fullerenes; is it aromaticity or electrostatics?
متن کاملRates and energetics of intramolecular electron transfer processes in conjugated metallofullerenes.
In this paper, we report on the design, redox potentials, excited state energies and radical ion pair state energies in electron donor-acceptor conjugates comprising the electron-donating π-extended tetrathiafulvalene and several electron-accepting fullerenes. To this end, we contrast an empty fullerene, that is, C₆₀, with two endohedral metallofullerenes, that is, open-shell La@C₈₂ and closed-...
متن کاملFunctionalization of Endohedral Metallofullerenes with Reactive Silicon and Germanium Compounds.
Exohedral derivatization of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) has been exploited as a useful method for characterizing the structural and chemical properties of EMFs, and for functionalizing them for potential applications. The introduction of heteroatoms, such as electropositive silicon atoms, to fullerene cages is a novel functionalization method that remarkably affects the electronic chara...
متن کاملStructural and electronic properties of endohedral metallofullerenes.
This account presents an overview of our achievements in structural and chemical understanding of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), a new class of metal-carbon hybrid materials formed by encapsulation of metals inside fullerene cavities. Structural determination of EMFs is of fundamental importance for understanding their intrinsic properties and the formation mechanism, and for broadening t...
