Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

One- or two-step reactions of potassium and rubidium fullerides with composition M k C60 (M = K, Rb; k = 3—6) and K6C60 + m K mixtures (m = 1, 3) with anhydrous salts M′Cl3 (M′ = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Yb, Lu, Y, Sc) and YbI2 in a toluene—THF medium afforded heterometallic fullerides M3–nM′ n C60 (n = 1—3). Among these compounds, substituted fullerides with composition M2M′C60 (M′ = Yb, Lu, Sc) display superconducting properties with critical temperatures of 14—20 K.
