Synthesis and UHV-STM observation of the Td-symmetric Lu metallofullerene: Lu276(Td)

Synthesis and UHV-STM observation of the Td-symmetric Lu metallofullerene: Lu276(Td)

The first Td-symmetric lutetium metallofullerene, Lu276, has been synthesized, isolated, and characterized. Because of the charge transfer from the encapsulated Lu atoms to the Td-C76 fullerene cage, the otherwise unstable Td-C76 fullerene can be significantly stabilized as a Lu276 fullerene. Both S...

Zusammenfassung:The first Td-symmetric lutetium metallofullerene, Lu276, has been synthesized, isolated, and characterized. Because of the charge transfer from the encapsulated Lu atoms to the Td-C76 fullerene cage, the otherwise unstable Td-C76 fullerene can be significantly stabilized as a Lu276 fullerene. Both STM and STS results are consistent with a charge state of (Lu2)6+766-(Td).
