Abstract

Abstract : The designed orifice substructure enabled the efficient conversion into H2 O@C60 via a four-step reaction process in 70% isolated yield with an occupation level exceeding 98%. Abstract : Using an open-cage C60 derivative possessing an orifice designed on the basis of computational studies, we have experimentally demonstrated the quantitative encapsulation of H2 O as well as effective conversion into H2 O@C60 in an overall yield remarkably higher than the previously reported methods by ca. 2–5 times.
