Abstract

The simplest hydrated HF was realized, whose properties were revealed by x-ray analysis, spectroscopy, and theoretical studies.

How Does a Container Affect Acidity of its Content: Charge‐Depletion Bonding Inside Fullerenes

“…Studying intermolecular interactions of molecular complexes trapped inside a fullerene cage is a fascinating topic that has appeared recently thanks to pioneering works by Murata and co‐workers . In their latest contribution, they isolated the simplest hydrated acid, H 2 O ⋅ HF, inside a C 70 fullerene .…”

“…Studying intermolecular interactions of molecular complexes trapped inside a fullerene cage is a fascinating topic that has appeared recently thanks to pioneering works by Murata and co‐workers . In their latest contribution, they isolated the simplest hydrated acid, H 2 O ⋅ HF, inside a C 70 fullerene . Their crystallographic data, as well as theoretical calculations, revealed that the proton of HF is much closer to the water oxygen, and the H−F bond is elongated inside the C 70 compared to the situation in an isolated H 2 O ⋅ HF pair.…”

Fully Coupled Quantum Treatment of Nanoconfined Systems: A Water Molecule inside a Fullerene C60

“…Trapping molecular complexes inside near-spherical cavities are the cases of the endohedral fullerenes. This is a fascinating research subject, that has been recently received particular attention, as a novel organic synthesis, namely molecular surgery by Murata and coworkers, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] made feasible the encapsulation of various molecules into fullerenes. Such synthetic route to endohedral fullerene complexes offers an opportunity to study their properties, and experimental inelastic neutron scattering (INS), far-infrared (FIR), and magicangle-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) spectroscopy techniques have been used to investigate unconventional quantum patterns.…”

Fullerene C70 as a Nanoflask that Reveals the Chemical Reactivity of Atomic Nitrogen

“…[16] Fortunately,t his low efficiency is sufficient for the resulting products to be analyzed by solution ESR spectroscopy under ambient conditions.W eh ave previously synthesized C 60 and C 70 fullerenes that can encapsulate aHeatom [19] and demonstrated that as ubsequent insertion of an Na tom afforded HeN@C 60 and HeN@C 70 . [18] Molecular surgical methods ( Figure 1a)a fforded as eries of molecule-encapsulating endohedral fullerenes,t hat is,H 2 @C 60 , [20] H 2 @C 70 , [21] H 2 O@C 60 , [22] H 2 O@C 70 , [23] and HF@C 70 , [24] which were used for the subsequent insertion of atomic N( Figure 1b).…”

“…On account of the larger size,double-encapsulation was achieved in (H 2 ) 2 @C 70 , [21] (H 2 O) 2 @C 70 , [23] and (H 2 O·HF)@C 70 . [24] Ini-tially,weattempted insertion of atomic Nina3:7mixture of H 2 @C 70 [21] and empty C 70 under the aforementioned conditions (Figure 2a). TheESR spectrum of the resulting material showed an ew triplet of triplets in addition to the triplet corresponding to N@C 70 (Figure 3a).…”
