Beyond the Butterfly: Sc2C2@C2v(9)-C86, an Endohedral Fullerene Containing a Planar, Twisted Sc2C2 Unit with Remarkable
文摘
The synthesis, isolation, and characterization of a new endohedral fullerene, Sc2C88, is reported. Characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that it is the carbide Sc2C2@C2v(9)-C86 with a planar, twisted Sc2C2 unit inside a previously unseen C2v(9)-C86 fullerene cage.
