Mechanochemical Synthesis of a Novel C_(60) Dimer Connected by a Silicon Bridge and a Single Bond

摘要

A novel C_(60) dimer connected by a silicon bridge and a single bond was synthesized by the mechanochemical solid-state reaction employing a high-speed vibration milling technique and fully characterized by the ~1H and ~(13)C NMR, APCI mass, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The presence of the electronic interaction between the two C_(60) cages was demonstrated by the electrochemical method.
