摘要
Fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes (M-x @C-2n; M=La, Mn, Nb, Au, and Li; x = 1-3, n greater than or equal to 30) were synthesized by two different techniques: the standard carbon-arc technique and a modification involving an RF-inductivc coupled plasma discharge. Both techniques employ a modified carbon-arc reactor which is durable, easy to operate, and capable of providing a high degree of control over many parameters of the reaction. Our results suggest that both fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes are formed by a radical pathway. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
