X-ray photoelectron spectra and catalytic properties of platinum fulleride
C60Pt were studied. The value of the bond energy of Pt4f(7/2) (72.4 eV) fou
nd for platinum in the starting C60Pt suggests a partial charge transfer fr
om Pt to C-60 The interaction of solid platinum fulleride with gaseous deut
erium leads to the formation of fullerene deuterides C60Dx and Pt dusters.
