XPS probes of carbon-caged metals

Magnetic Properties and Crystal Structure of Solvent‐Free Sc@C82 Metallofullerene Microcrystals

“…Typical ESR-active monometallofullerenes are La@C 82 , [35] Y@C 82 [36] and Sc@C 82 . [37,38] An ESR hyperfine structure (hfs) of a radical electron on the carbon cage of metallofullerenes was first observed in La@C 82 and was interpreted within the framework of an intrafullerene electron transfer such as La 3 + @C 82…”

An experimental setup for nondestructive deposition of size-selected clusters

“…On surfaces additional spectroscopic tools become available, like photoelectron and photoabsorption spectroscopy using UV/vis radiation and x rays or infrared and Raman spectroscopy. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Essential information on charge transfer, density of states, orbital interaction, hybridization, chemical information, Jahn-Teller distortion, and intermolecular cluster interaction are revealed from these techniques. Furthermore, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy the density of states both below and in particular above the Fermi level can be monitored.…”

Mass spectra of metal-doped carbon and fullerene clusters

“…Among these doped fullerenes are only clusters with 60 or more than 70 carbon atoms. They have been investigated by, e.g., resonant photoelectron spectroscopy, 6 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, [7][8][9] x-ray scattering, 10,11 absorption spectroscopy, 12 electron spin resonance, [13][14][15] and densityfunctional theory. 16 Comparatively little is known about metal-carbon compounds containing more than one metal atom, since only several species M 2 C n have been isolated by, e.g., high-pressure liquid chromatography.…”
