Capturing the Long-Sought Dy@C_2v(5)-C₈₀ via Benzyl Radical Stabilization.

ABSTRACT: Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) are one type of intriguing metal/carbon hybrid molecule with the molecule configuration of sphere cavity-encapsulating metal ions/metal clusters due to their unique physicochemical properties and corresponding application in the fields of biological materials, single molecule magnet materials and energy conversion materials. Although the EMF family is growing, and versatile EMFs have been successfully synthesized and confirmed using crystal structures, some expected EMF members have not been observed using the conventional fullerene separation and purify strategy. These missing EMFs raise an interesting scientific issue as to whether this is due to the difficulty in separating them from the in situ formed carbon soot. Herein, we successfully captured a l
