Synthesis and characterisation of the inclusion complex {(P4)2C60}

Abstract

Incorporation of elemental phosphorus into hexagonal-packed CEO gives the new phase { (P4)2C60}; characterisation by powder diffraction and multinuclear solid-state NMR studies show the P4 tetrahedra occupy trigonal prismatic sites and confirm the retention of the molecular nature of the P4 guest.

Bare phosphorus and binary phosphide cluster ions generated by laser ablation

“…Some small phosphide clusters have been studied both theoretically and experimentally [10][11]. In inorganic chemistry, compounds containing a small naked phosphorus cluster have been synthesized and characterized [12][13] and some interesting structures have been revealed. For example, both cyclic and tetrahedral P units were found in those compounds by single crystal X-ray diffraction.…”

Intercalation Compounds of Fullerenes I: Synthesis, Characterization, and Solid State Properties

“…The elemental phosphorus exists as tetragonal P 4 molecules in the gas phase and C60 (P 4h is a unique example where the molecular nature of P 4 is actually preserved in the intercalation. Reaction of pure C60 powder and phosphorus placed in an evacuated and sealed quartz tube at lOO°C for about 1 day yields single phase C60 (P4h-The X-ray diffraction pattern of a sample exposed to air for a week showed no change, implying the crystalline phase is quite stable in air [85]. When benzene solution of C60 and white phosphorus are mixed, the initial deep purple solution becomes clear and a black crystalline precipitate forms.…”

“…Here we briefly discuss the C60(P4h [84,85] phase formed by intercalation of white phosphorus with solid C60. The elemental phosphorus exists as tetragonal P 4 molecules in the gas phase and C60 (P 4h is a unique example where the molecular nature of P 4 is actually preserved in the intercalation.…”
