Sc₃N@C₆₈: Folded Pentalene Coordination in an Endohedral Fullerene that Does Not Obey the Isolated Pentagon Rule

Abstract

organization of 1 into a liquid-crystalline phase is that it allows the unprecedented control of the molecular orientation of 1 in thin solid films. Induced orientation of the liquidcrystalline domains of 1 under a shearing force results in highly anisotropically ordered thin solid films that serve as dichroic polarizers of light at long wavelengths (greater than 600 nm). Future work will investigate the fluorescence, semiconducting, and photoconducting properties of 1.

Fullerene−Porphyrin Constructs

“…7 Almost any free-base porphyrin or metalloporphyrin (or like macrocycle) can be cocrystallized with almost any fullerene (or derivatized fullerene) from comixed solutions. [8][9][10][11][12][13] Representative examples are illustrated by H 2 TPP‚ C 60 ‚3toluene (H 2 TPP ) tetraphenylporphyrin) and 2Co-(OEP)‚C 60 ‚CHCl 3 (OEP ) dianion of octaethylporphyrin). As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the structures often adopt an alternating zigzag motif.…”

Size effect of fullerene cages and encaged clusters in M3N@C2n

“…B 55 , B 56 and B 66 imply that the corresponding metallic atoms are located toward a 5:5, 5:6 and 6:6 bond, respectively; R 6 implies that the corresponding metallic atoms are located toward a hexagon. Theoretical investigations demonstrated that charged C 68 -6140 is the most stable isomer among the eleven candidates satisfying 13 C NMR experimental results of Sc 3 N@C 68 [20,34] . Theoretical and experimental results demonstrated that the three Sc atoms in Sc 3 N@C 68 are all located toward the fused junction of two pentagons [14,20,21,23,31] .…”
