Sm@C2v(3)-C80: site-hopping motion of endohedral Sm atom and metal-induced effect on redox profile

Abstract

A new metallofullerene Sm@C2v(3)-C80 was synthesized and characterized. X-Ray analysis showed that the endohedral Sm atom undergoes a hopping motion between several off-center sites, even at low temperature. In addition, a comparative electrochemical study between Sm@C2v(3)-C80 and Yb@C2v(3)-C80 revealed their different redox potentials, suggesting a metal-induced effect on their redox profiles.
