With funding from the Organic Dynamics Program Professors Saunders and Cross from Yale University will study the mechanism of the insertion and release process that creates endohedral nobel gas compounds of Buckminsterfullerene. Equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters will be theoretically and experimentally determined for the binding of atoms and small molecules in the interior of fullerenes. The photochemical release of helium from endohedral binding in fullerenes will be explored. This research will study the unique behavior of a new form of carbon called Buckminsterfullerene in which carbon atoms are bonded together to form a closed surface like a soccer ball. Helium atoms are incorporated inside the closed surface under conditions of very high pressures of helium. The behavior of this unique form of material will be explored. These compounds may find new applications in the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals, and materials.

在有机动力学项目的资助下，耶鲁大学的 Saunders 和 Cross 教授将研究产生巴克明斯特富勒烯内嵌诺贝尔气体化合物的插入和释放过程的机制。将从理论上和实验上确定富勒烯内部原子和小分子的结合平衡常数和热力学参数。将探索富勒烯内嵌结合中氦的光化学释放。 这项研究将研究一种名为巴克明斯特富勒烯的新型碳的独特行为，其中碳原子结合在一起形成一个像足球一样的封闭表面。在非常高的氦压力条件下，氦原子被结合到封闭表面内。我们将探索这种独特材料形式的行为。 这些化合物可能在医学、制药和材料领域找到新的应用。
