“…The synthesis of the oxygen-bridged dimer, C 120 -O, by reaction of the fullerene epoxide C 60 O with C 60 [37][38][39] provides, if the unfunctionalized C 60 is present in a large excess, a route to selective dimerization. We have recently prepared the epoxide functionalized endohedral fullerene N@C 60 O [40], which holds potential for dimerization with 15 N@C 60 to yield a 14 N-15 N two-qubit system.…”

Abstract. Molecular structures appear to be natural candidates for a quantum technology: individual atoms can support quantum superpositions for long periods, and such atoms can in principle be embedded in a permanent molecular scaffolding to form an array. This would be true nanotechnology, with dimensions of order of a nanometre. However, the challenges of realising such a vision are immense. One must identify a suitable elementary unit and demonstrate its merits for qubit storage and manipulation, including input / output. These units must then be formed into large arrays corresponding to an functional quantum architecture, including a mechanism for gate operations. Here we report our efforts, both experimental and theoretical, to create such a technology based on endohedral fullerenes or 'buckyballs'. We describe our successes with respect to these criteria, along with the obstacles we are currently facing and the questions that remain to be addressed.

“…2C 119 is more usually obtained by heating a mixture of C 60 and C 60 O, which is believed to lose CO to give an intermediate carbene (Scheme 6), having a strained four-member ring, (or a diradical). This may then either add to a 6:6 bond [104] or insert into a 6:5 bond of [60] fullerene, such addition/insertions being common in fullerene chemistry [105]. These intermediates are then conjectured to undergo intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition, the product that results from the 6:5 insertion being the major one [106] because it is less strained.…”

A summary of the work of the Sussex fullerene research group is described. The work encompasses a range of fullerene additions including the formation of hydrides, hydroxides, halides, oxides, alkyl-and arylfullerenes, and cycloadducts are described and reveal a number of important properties of fullerenes, such as the tendency to form aromatic derivatives, as well as the formation of novel unsuspected structures.

“…For a variety of objectives, oxides or their ions were also produced in gas phase studies [7,10,25,26,29,43,56,57,61,[77][78][79][80][81][82][83]. Syntheses using reactants in the solid state have been mainly performed to prepare fullerene multimer oxides such as C 120 O [35,61,[84][85][86], but these compounds have also been produced in solution [32,45,46,87,88]. A rather unusual synthesis of C 120 O m compounds was carried out by the decomposition of C 60 Br 24 in air [89].…”

“…In principle, qualitative analysis of crystallized substituted oxides can also be performed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies, although this is a laborious approach [62][63][64][65][66][67][68]. Infrared spectra have been reported for several oxides [2,12,17,19,20,41,58,85,[89][90][91], but such spectra have seldom been used for identification.…”
