Group V Endohedral Fullerenes: N@C60, N@C70, and P@C60

  • Chapter
Endofullerenes

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

Abstract

In this article, the production and the properties of endohedral fullerenes N@C60, P@C60 and N@C70 are described. The distinct feature of these systems is that the enclosed nitrogen and phosphorous atoms keep their atomic ground state configuration and are localized in the center of the fullerenes. The atoms are almost freely suspended in these molecular cages and exhibit properties resembling those of ions in electromagnetic traps, i.e. sharp spectroscopic transitions and long life times. Since the fullerene shell can be easily manipulated, a large variety of different physical or chemical modifications can be realized.
