Abstract
The synthesis, separation and isolation of a new [84]fullerene isomer from arc-burned soot of dysprosium-doped graphite composite rods is reported; hi gh-resolution C-13 NMR and electronic absorption UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy we re used to characterize this material, which was found to possess C-2 molec ular symmetry; the successful synthesis of the new [84-C-2]fullerene isomer can be ascribed to a catalytic role played by the doped Dy metal atoms in the composite rods.
