We report here the structural determination of the Sc3C82 molecule by 13C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. From the present study, it is obvious that the structure of Sc3C82 is not Sc3@C82 but Sc3C2@C80.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
