Transition metal-carbonyl, -hydrido and -η-cyclopentadienyl derivatives of the fullerene C₆₀

Abstract

Monoadduct derivatives of the fullerene c60, namely [Fe(C0)4(q2-C60)], [ M O ( T ~C ~H ~R ) ~( ~~-C ~~) ] (R = H, Bun), [Ta(q2-C5H5)2(~2-C60)H] and [Rh(Ph3P)2(Co)(q2-C6~)H], are described.

Multiple dumbbell structures of vanadium–C60 clusters

“…Recently, the formation of fullerene-based organometallic compounds suggests the new forms of materials can be synthesized because the fullerenes may prove to be highly versatile ligands due to their intriguing topography and aromaticity. [3][4][5][6] However, the nature of the metal-fullerene interface has scarcely been revealed.…”

Lattice dynamics and hyperfine interactions of C60Fe(CO)4

“…Although an x-ray determined structure of II has not been reported in the literature, the ir spectrum at room temperature 15 shows four infrared active CO stretching modes ͑in addition to an unresolved shoulder at 2045.8 cm Ϫ1 ͒. These four modes are shifted by 41.8Ϯ4.2 cm Ϫ1 from the four bands reported by Green et al for I, 12 and leave little doubt concerning the C 2v point group symmetry of both molecules. In II, as in the title compound, the Fe͑CO͒ 4 fragment is ligated to a single CC double bond along a pseudotwo-fold symmetry axis.…”

Cycloaddition Reactions of 16‐Electron d4 Metallocene Complexes with C60: A Theoretical Study

“…[8] About a decade ago, Green et al reported the first C 60 derivatives of a metallocene, namely, [MoA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (h 5 -C 5 H 4 R) 2 A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (h 2 -C 60 )] (R = H, nBu). [9] They also proposed that such metallocenes may bond to C 60 at one of its 30 equivalent double bonds, which occur at the fusion of two six-membered rings. However, to the best of our knowledge, no other experimental data for such reactions, or the species involved, have been reported in the literature.…”
