• Interestingly, complexation of Li + @C 60 with crown ethers accelerates the intersystem crossing upon photoexcitation of the complex, thereby yielding 3 (Li + @C 60 )∗, when no charge separation by means of 1 Li + @C 60 ∗ occurs. (ewha.ac.kr)
  • On the basis of DFT studies at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level, the orbital interactions between the crown ether moieties and the π surface of the fullerene together with the endohedral Li + have a crucial role in robust complex formation. (ewha.ac.kr)
  • After the discovery of the highly symmetric Buckminsterfullerene (BF), a major goal of the fullerene community has been to understand its formation mechanism. (infona.pl)
