Abstract :
The redox property of Sc3@C82 is investigated by using disilirane as a chemical probe. The redox potential of Sc3@C82 in o-dichlorobenzene shows a high reactivity attributable to its high electron-accepting and -donating ability. No ESR signal is observed at room temperature for Sc3@C82 in the presence of pyridine, indicating formation of the diamagnetic Sc3@C82 anion. The diamagnetic Sc3@C82 anion is also prepared electrochemically in 1,2-dichlorobenzene.
