Abstract

The synthesis of three new isomers of C₁₂₁ by neutron irradiation of C₆₀ is reported in this paper. The results indicate that lower flux ratio of thermal to fast neutrons, proper oxidation of C₆₀, and longer irradiation time are advantageous to the formation of C₁₂₁. This new nuclear method, by which three isomers of C₁₂₁ were prepared for the first time, has opened a new way to synthesize other odd-numbered large carbon fullerene.
