Derivatives of Ce@C(82)(C(2v)) have been synthesized and fully characterized, and their anisotropic magnetism has been observed as paramagnetic shifts in NMR measurements. Carbene addition by photochemical reaction afforded two isomers of Ce@C(82)(C(2v))Ad (Ad = adamantylidene), 2a and 2b, demonstrating high regioselectivity. The two isomers were characterized using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, and electrochemistry. The structure of the minor isomer (2b) was elucidated by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. (13)C and (1)H NMR measurements revealed the characteristic anisotropic interaction between the f electron on the Ce atom and nuclear spins of the carbon atoms of the cage and the protons of the Ad group, respectively.
Nanorods of La@C82(Ad) (Ad = adamantylidene) were prepared via the liquid−liquid interfacial precipitation method. From the SEM, HRTEM, EELS, and SADEP analyses, it was revealed that the nanorods consist of a single crystal of La@C82(Ad). The field-effect transistor (FET) measurement of the La@C82(Ad) nanorods shows a p-type action. The magnetic orientation of the nanorods was observed; that is, the nanorods of La@C82(Ad) oriented with the nanorod axis perpendicular to the magnetic field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
