Squeezing formaldehyde into C60 fullerene

Squeezing formaldehyde into C60 fullerene

Abstract The cavity inside fullerene C60 provides a highly symmetric and inert environment for housing atoms and small molecules. Here we report the encapsulation of formaldehyde inside C60 by molecular surgery, yielding the supermolecular complex CH2O@C60, despite the 4.4 Å van der Waals length of...
