Abstract

The endohedral metallofullerenes, such as Sc@C₈₂, Sc₂@C₈₄, and Sc₃@C₈₂, have been purified and isolated by using two-stage high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The ESR spectrum of the isolated Sc₃@C₈₂ exhibits a perfectly symmetric 22 hyperfined splittings with an inherent linewidth of 0.77 Gauss at 220 K, which is consistent with a unique structure that three scandium atoms are encaged triangularly within the C_3v isomer of C₈₂. In addition, we report the direct imaging of the isolated discandium fullerene (Sc₂@C₈₄) on silicon clean surfaces in an ultrahigh-vacuum environment by utilizing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The STM images reveal spherical Sc₂@C₈₄ fullerenes, spaced 11.7 Å apart, stacked in close-packed arrays.
