Abstract

(Figure Presented) Open-mouthed fullerene swallows H₂ whole: Direct observation of a H₂ molecule that is fully encapsulated by a derivative of an aza-thia open-cage fullerene (see model) is achieved by synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis of single crystals. A 3D electron-density map obtained by the maximum entropy method shows a single H₂ molecule (red) floating in the center of a hollow cavity in the open-cage fullerene molecule (yellow).
