Size effect of endohedral cluster on fullerene cage: preparation and structural studies of Y3N@C78-C2.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new metallofullerene Y(3)N@C(78)-C(2) was synthesized and characterized. It was shown that Y(3)N@C(78) has an unconventional C(78)-C(2) cage with two pairs of fused pentagons closely bonded with two yttrium atoms. DFT calculations showed that the size of the ionic radii of the metals forming the caged cluster plays an important role in the non-isolated-pentagon-rule-feature of the C(78) cage.

Plasmon-Enhanced Photoemission from a Single Y3N@C80 Fullerene†
Rare earth ions are the backbone of a wide range of optoelectronic applications, ranging from solid-state lasers and fiber amplifiers to silicon photonics. So far experiments on single rare-earth ions have been elusive because of the long excited state lifetimes and low absorption cross sections. Here we present the first single molecule photoemission study of an endohedral metallofullerene (Y3...
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 کاملThe Frozen Cage Model: A Computationally Low-Cost Tool for Predicting the Exohedral Regioselectivity of Cycloaddition Reactions Involving Endohedral Metallofullerenes.
Functionalization of endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) is an active line of research that is important for obtaining nanomaterials with unique properties that might be used in a variety of fields, ranging from molecular electronics to biomedical applications. Such functionalization is commonly achieved by means of cycloaddition reactions. The scarcity of both experimental and theoretical stud...
متن کاملMass spectrometric study of unimolecular decompositions of endohedral fullerenes
Unimolecular decompositions of noble gas containing endohedral fullerenes as well as metallofullerenes were studied using tandem mass spectrometry techniques. Endohedral fullerenes do not lose the endohedral atom unimolecularly but fragment via the loss of C2 units. Kinetic energy release distributions were measured for the emission of C2 units from the positive ions of C60, Ne@C60, Ar@C60, Kr@...
متن کاملEndohedral fullerenes: the importance of electronic, size and shape complementarity between the carbon cages and the corresponding encapsulated clusters
Cage-cluster complementarity is of crucial importance in determining the sizes and structures, as well as the properties of endohedral fullerenes. The encapsulated atoms or clusters, which are typically in a positively charged state, are irreversibly, mechanically, and electrostatically trapped inside the typically negatively charged cages. These rather exotic compounds exhibit exquisitely comp...
