Very Large, Soluble Endohedral Fullerenes in the Series La2C90 to La2C138: Isolation and Crystallographic Characterization of La-2@D-5(450)-C-100
An extensive series of soluble dilanthanum endohedral fullerenes that extends from La2C90 to La2C138 has been discovered. The most abundant of these, the nanotubular La-2@D-5(450)-C-100, has been isolated in pure form and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
