Isolation, spectroscopic characterization and study of island formation of two isomers of the metallofullerene Nd@C82

Two types of the metallofullerene Nd@C82 have been isolated and characterized. HPLC was used to isolate Nd@C82(I, II). The two isomers were characterized by mass spectrometry and UV-Vis-N1R absorption spectroscopy. Nd@C82(I) was found to be similar in structure to the main isomer of other lanthanofu...
