The cooperative dynamical Jahn-Teller effect in alkali doped fullerides

Interactions between a water molecule and C60 in the endohedral fullerene H2O@C60

“…It would be particularly interesting if it were possible to carry out experiments on endohedrally-doped A n C 60 fullerides, where the addition of alkali metal atoms A results in JT distortions of the C 60 cages. [59][60][61][62][63][64][65]…”

Modern Aspects of the Jahn−Teller Effect Theory and Applications To Molecular Problems

“…The latest achievements in the preparation and studies of icosahedral systems (fullerenes) stimulated further intensive and extensive investigation, although the first work 70 on the JT effect in such systems was published before the discovery of fullerenes. Essential contribution to the development of the JTE theory in application to icosahedral system was made in a series of works ,− partly reviewed in ref .…”

Interplay between Coulomb and Jahn-Teller effects in icosahedral systems with triplet electronic states coupled toh-type vibrations

“…3,4 The p n ⊗ h system is also of interest because it applies to anions of the fullerene molecule C 60 , whose lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is a T 1u state. The JT effect is believed to play an important role in the mechanisms behind why the A 3 C 60 fullerides can be superconducting up to relatively high temperatures, [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] whereas the A 4 C 60 fullerides are insulators. However, the role of the JT effect is not fully understood.…”
