Nuclear spin isomers of guest molecules in H2@C60, H2O@C60 and other endofullerenes

摘要: Spectroscopic studies of recently synthesized endofullerenes, in which H2, H2O and other atoms small molecules are trapped cages carbon atoms, have shown that although the interact relatively weakly with internal environment they nevertheless susceptible to appropriately applied external perturbations. These properties been exploited isolate study samples H2 C60 fullerenes highly enriched para spin isomer. Several strategies for spin-isomer enrichment, potential extensions endofullerenes possible applications these materials discussed.
