Azide addition to Sc2@C66: favorable activity on unsaturated linear triquinanes and dramatic reactivity difference compared with the free C66 cage†
Abstract
Density functional theory calculations on methyl azide additions to C66 and Sc2@C2v(4059)-C66 suggest that the best addition sites type E[5,6]-56 bond e2 and the new type D[5,6]-55 bond d for C66 and type G[5,5]-66 bond g for Sc2@C66 are located on the unsaturated linear triquinane moieties.
