Atoms and Molecules Within Fullerenes

本研究的重点是制备稀有气体和含氚的富勒烯化合物。核磁共振研究可以确定许多化合物的结构，并将探索利用这些化合物作为地球化学和生物化学研究的示踪剂的潜力。本文还将研究含氚富勒烯的结构和反应性。有了这个更新奖，有机动力学计划是支持博士的研究。耶鲁大学化学系的马丁·桑德斯和r·詹姆斯·克罗斯说。研究的重点是制备含惰性气体的富勒烯化合物。这些稀有气体化合物在地球化学和生物化学实验中作为示踪剂具有很大的潜力。

The focus of this research is the preparation of noble-gas and tritium containing fullerene compounds. NMR studies allow the structural determination of many of the compounds and the potential for using the compounds as tracers for geochemical as well as biochemical studies will be probed. The structure and reactivity of the tritium-containing fullerene will also be studied. With this renewal award, the Organic Dynamics Program is supporting the research of Drs. Martin Saunders and R. James Cross of the Department of Chemistry at Yale University. The focus of the research involves the preparation of fullerene compounds containing noble gases. These noble-gas compounds have great potential for use as tracers in geochemical and biochemical experiments.
