Fullerene N-doped fullerene (C 50 N 10 )O 3 H 10 has been synthesized at thermal transformation of pyridine molecules. The synthesis was carried out at special reaction conditions, which are optimum for polycondensation of pyridine molecules. O and H atoms bind to nitrogen atoms and they are positioned exohedrally with respect to the pyridine net, (C 50 N 10 ). Nitrogen atoms in (C 50 N 10 )O 3 H 10 molecule reside in a hypercoordinated state: there are four bonds with carbon atoms belonging to the pyridine net and one bond is realized either with surface oxygen atoms (participating in 3 N-O-H bonds) or hydrogen (participating in 7 N-H bonds). N-doped nanocarbon (or "pyridine" nanocarbon) has also been synthesized with content of nitrogen not less than 10%wt. containing pyridine (not graphene) fragments. Methods of FTIR, XPS, X-ray diffraction patterns, NMR 13 C and 1 H, massspectroscopy were used.
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.
