Peculiarities of hydrogenation of pentatomic carbon molecules in the frame of fullerene molecule C60

The hydrogenation process as a method of investigation of fullerene C60 molecule

“…Thus, we can assume that in the frame of fullerene C 60 the pentatomic cycles are carbon molecules formed between themselves the hexagonal intermolecular hollows or interstitial sites [25]. The investigation of the structural features of hydrogenation of the C 60 molecule and study of the peculiarities of coloring of fullerenes C 60 and C 70 solutions have been carried out to confirm this hypothesis.…”

“…In consideration of the frame structure of fullerene C 60 molecule, we have pointed out in our papers [23,25,27] that the presence of conjugated and stressed bonds in the carbon nanotubes (CNT) in analogy with fullerenes don't make them more chemically active in contrast to graphene. Even so, the presence of semi-fullerene caps at the ends of the closed nanotubes does not provide the capability for CNT to dissolve in the solvents.…”

“…The geometrical peculiarities of the frame structure of hydrogenated fullerene C 60 molecule In the paper [25], we have carefully carried out by the use of computer simulation, the consideration of geometric features of the frame structure of hydrogenated C 60 H 60 molecule of fullerene that confirms its pentatomic start. e sites of crystalline lattice, in which hydrofullerenes are distributed, e octahedral interstitial sites, e tetrahedral interstitial sites, in which atoms of lattice hydrogen are located [25].…”

“…e sites of crystalline lattice, in which hydrofullerenes are distributed, e octahedral interstitial sites, e tetrahedral interstitial sites, in which atoms of lattice hydrogen are located [25].…”

“…Later on the assumption that instead of production of dense and continuous shell the hydrogen atoms, forming the covalent bonds, are partially placed on the shell of carbon frame, in so doing they occupy the intermolecular voids [25].…”
