Electron-spin excitation by implanting hydrogen into metallofullerene: the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of Sc4C2H@Ih-C80†
Abstract
A hydrogen-containing endohedral metallofullerene, Sc4C2H@Ih-C80, was synthesized and its paramagnetism was measured by the low-temperature EPR spectrometry with a broad EPR signal. The electron-spin excitation by implanting the H-atom would be a new method for preparation of stable paramagnetic metallofullerenes.
