Abstract:
Not Sc2 @C86 but Sc2 C2 @C84 : that is the conclusion of 13 C NMR spectroscopic and synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction studies on a new metallofullerene obtained by arc discharge of Sc2 O3 /graphite rods. The picture shows a schematic representation of the deduced structure, in which the novel scandium carbide cluster Sc2 C2 is encaged in D2d -C84 .
