Synthesis, Isolation, and Addition Patterns of Trifluoromethylated D5h and Ih Isomers of Sc3N@C80: Sc3N@D
文摘
Sc3N@D5h-C80 and Sc3N@Ih-C80 were trifluoromethylated with CF3I at 400 掳C, affording mixtures of CF3 derivatives. After separation with HPLC, the first multi-CF3 derivative of Sc3N@D5h-C80, Sc3N@D5h-C80(CF3)18, and three new isomers of Sc3N@Ih-C80(CF3)14 were investigated by X-ray crystallography. The Sc3N@D5h-C80(CF3)18 molecule is characterized by a large number of double C鈭扖 bonds and benzenoid rings within the D5h-C80 cage and a fully different position of the Sc3N unit compared to that in the pristine Sc3N@D5h-C80. A detailed comparison of five Sc3N@Ih-C80(CF3)14 isomers reveals a strong influence of the exohedral additions on the behavior of the Sc3N cluster inside the Ih-C80 cage.
