Abstract

A new [70]fullerene dimer consisting of 141 carbon atoms was first synthesized by a new method with neutron irradiation of [70]fullerene. The results of separation and isolation with two-step HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) show that this odd-numbered fullerene dimer is stable in air. Laser induced dissociation of C₁₄₁ mainly yields fragmental species C₇₀ and C₇₁. The UV-vis spectrum of C₁₄₁ shows that its vis feature is diminished as compared to that of C₇₀. Experiments indicate that this new method for synthesis of fullerene dimers with neutron irradiation has a high selectivity for formation of C _2n-X-C_2n type carbon nanomolecules.
