Abstract
Reactivity of La@C82 in the mixture with C60 and C70 vs L2pto, phosphoryl radical ∗P(O)(OR)2, and CF3COOH has been studied using EPR spectroscopy. Whereas two former reagents did not change EPR spectrum, treatment with CF3COOH in toluene caused the disappearance of minor octet and a new signal was observed. Similar behaviour was found upon treatment of Y@C82 with CF3COOH. It is interpreted as selective protonation of one isomer of endohedral metallofullerene.Keywords
