Uranium Stabilization of C28: A Tetravalent Fullerene
Ting Guo,M. Diener,Y. Chai,M. J. Alford,R. E. Haufler,S. M. McClure,T. R. Ohno,J. H. Weaver,Gustavo E. Scuseria,Richard E. Smalley +9 more
TL;DR: Stable closed-shell derivatives of C28 with large highest occupied molecular orbital—lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gaps should be attainable either by reacting at the four tetrahedral vertices on the outside of the C28 cage to make, for example, C28H4, or by trapping a tetravalent atom inside the cage toMake endothedral fullerenes such as Ti@C28.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and sintering of fullerene nanotubes.
Daniel T. Colbert,Jinshui Zhang,S. M. McClure,Pavel Nikolaev,Z. Chen,Jason H. Hafner,D. W. Owens,Paul G. Kotula,C. B. Carter,J. H. Weaver,Andrew G. Rinzler,Richard E. Smalley +11 more
TL;DR: A detailed mechanism that features the high electric field at (and field-emission from) open nanotube tips exposed to the arc plasma, and consequent positive feedback effects from the neutral gas and plasma, is proposed for tube growth in such arcs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Susceptibility of Molecular Carbon: Nanotubes and Fullerite
Arthur P. Ramirez,Robert C. Haddon,Otto Zhou,R. M. Fleming,Jing Zhang,S. M. McClure,Richard E. Smalley +6 more
TL;DR: Nanotubes represent the cylindrical form of carbon, intermediate between graphite and fullerite, and are found to have significantly larger orientation-averaged susceptibility, on a per carbon basis, than any other form of elemental carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
The electronic structure of Ca@C60
Lai-Sheng Wang,J. M. Alford,Y. Chai,M. Diener,Jing Zhang,S. M. McClure,Ting Guo,Gustavo E. Scuseria,Richard E. Smalley +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the electron affinity of Ca@C60 was found to be 3.0 eV and the spectrum suggests that Ca donates its two 4s electrons to the C60 t1u LUMO.
