Endohedral fullerenes have evinced much interest from the fundamental and applications points of view. However, given the nature of the weak interaction between the guest species and the host cage in these confined systems, the interaction energy values obtained using various theoretical methods, and different basis sets vary over a wide range. For example, the reported interaction energy for the HF@C 60 system ranges from À 2.5 kcal/mol to À 14.9 kcal/mol. In the present manuscript, we report reliable interaction energy values for different endohedral fullerenes (He

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) was investigated on β-Bi2O3/Bi2O2CO3 nanoparticles, a novel bismuth based metal substrate with lowest limit of detection as 1mM. Unlike on noble metal...
