Helium entry and escape through a chemically opened window in a fullerene
He-3 has been inserted into the cavity of an open-cage fullerene derivative close to room temperature, reaching an incorporation fraction of 0.1%. The rate of escape of He-3 from this fullerene was monitored by He-3 NMR to yield the activation barrier and to compare the size of the orifice to those of other open-cage fullerenes. The equilibrium constant was also measured.
