Putting Nonmetals into Fullerenes

  • Chapter
Endofullerenes

Part of the book series: Developments in Fullerene Science ((DFUL,volume 3))

Abstract

Three methods are described for putting atoms and small molecules inside fullerenes: heating the fullerene under high pressures of the gas, shooting in a beam of ions or fast atoms, or by generating the atom at high kinetic energy in a nuclear reaction. Several applications are described. NMR spectroscopy of 3He inside is a general and useful probe for studying fullerene chemistry.
