STM/STS observation of ferrocene derivative adduct to C 60 on HOPG

The C 60ONCFn cycloadduct (Fn=ferrocene) was prepared in the reaction between C 60 and ferrocene oxime, the ferrocene derivative was bound to C 60 at the 6–6 bond by a heterocyclic oxygen–nitrogen–carbon ring; the compound was stable in air. The compound dissolved in dichloroethane was deposited on...

Summary:The C 60ONCFn cycloadduct (Fn=ferrocene) was prepared in the reaction between C 60 and ferrocene oxime, the ferrocene derivative was bound to C 60 at the 6–6 bond by a heterocyclic oxygen–nitrogen–carbon ring; the compound was stable in air. The compound dissolved in dichloroethane was deposited on HOPG and observed by UHV STM/STS methods. The molecules of C 60ONCFn formed several-microns-long straight chains with clearly visible adducted groups pointing to one side of the chain. The STM/STS observations are discussed within the terms of semiempirical quantum chemical molecular modeling.
