Abstract

We have demonstrated the direct solid state synthesis of C60H2 by controlling the amount of hydrogen introduced into the reaction with C60. Palladium hydride has been used as the source of hydrogen. The main product 1,2-C60H2 is the isomer previously predicted by computational studies to be the lowest in energy of the possible 23 isomers; in addition, small amounts of the thermodynamically most stable isomer of C60H2, 1,2,3,4-C60H2, has also been obtained. To determine structural parameters by x-ray diffraction, crystal growth from various solvents yielded complex solventcontaining crystals which were examined; however, the complex nature of these crystals have so far precluded detailed crystal structure determinations.
