Organometallic radical-adducts of fullerenes C-60, C-70, and single-walled carbon nanotubes derived from (cyclopentadienyl)molybdenumtricarbonyl dimer

摘要

Interaction of the metal-centered free radicals [CpMo(CO)(3)](center dot) generated photochemically from the corresponding dimer [CpMo(CO)(3)](2) with fullerenes C-60, C-70, or single-walled carbon nanotubes in toluene results in the radical-adducts investigated by using TGA, ESR, Raman and X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy. Comparison was made with the chromium analogues previously studied.
