Synthesis of silicon-containing fullerenes

摘要

Macroscopic quantities of silicon-containing fullerenes have been synthesized by vaporizing a SiC-doped anode with DC are discharge technique, extracted by CS2, and characterized by field desorption mass spectra (FDMS). Besides silicon-cage-doped fullerenes, in the extract some others which are supposed to be silicon endohedral fullerenes are also found. [References: 16]
