Metallofullerenes encaging mixed-metal clusters: synthesis and structural studies of Gdx Ho3-x N@C80 and Gdx Lu3-x N@C80
Abstract
Metallofullerenes of Gdx Ho3-x N@C80 and Gdx Lu3-x N@C80 encapsulating mixed-metal nitride clusters were synthesized. Spectroscopic characterization of Gdx Ho3-x N@C80 and Gdx Lu3-x N@C80 was employed to reveal their structural and vibrational properties. The structural properties of these species were analyzed by using theoretical calculations. The studies of Gdx Ho3-x N@C80 and Gdx Lu3-x N@C80 laid the foundations for these species to be used as multifunctional molecules.
Keywords: absorption; cage compounds; endofullerenes; theoretical calculations; vibrational properties.
