Abstract

Application of the Krätschmer-Huffman method to a lanthana-graphite mixture yields an extractable molecule of formula La₂C₈₀, in addition to the recently reported LaC₈₂. Its solubility properties suggest that it is similar to the well-characterized higher fullerenes C₇₆, C₇₈, and C₈₄, and its estimated yield, based on laser-desorption mass spectra of (±)-charged molecules, is comparable to these. The finding of a series of particularly extractable molecules (La_nC_84-2n, n = 0, 1, 2) could indicate either a special type of structure or an isoelectronic series. We are attempting to isolate this molecule by chromatography.
