Abstract
The structure and vibrational spectrum of Gd3N@C80 is studied through Raman and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) as well as density functional theory (DFT) and universal force field (UFF) calculations. Hindered rotations, shown by both theory and experiment, indicate the formation of a Gd3N–C80 bond which reduces the ideal icosahedral symmetry of the C80 cage. We have conducted Raman studies of the Gd3N@C2n (n = 40, 41, 42, 43, 44) family and have studied Y3N@C80, Lu3N@C80 and Y3N@C88 for comparison. Conductance measurements have been performed on Gd3N@C80 and reveal a Kondo effect similar to that observed in C60.Citation
