Abstract
A water molecule fixed within [60]fullerene is the simplest form of water available in meatspace. It was first artificially made by us in 2011. Since then, anomalies of water molecules free from any hydrogen-bonding have been discovered in succession. In this account, we summarize the research progress in the past decade from the aspect of synthesis, derivatization, and reactivity of fullerenes with water inside as well as their quantum and classical dynamics. A single water molecule trapped within fullerene cages has been found to modulate the chemical and physical nature of exohedral cages as well as to exhibit anomalous quantum spin conversion. In this account, we discuss the synthesis, modulated exohedral properties, ortho–para conversion, and classical dynamics of water in fullerenes.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan (BCSJ) is devoted to the publication of scientific research papers in the fields of Theoretical and Physical Chemistry, Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry, Organic and Biological Chemistry, and Applied and Materials Chemistry. BCSJ appears as a monthly journal online and in advance with three kinds of papers (Accounts, Articles, and Short Articles) describing original research. The purpose of BCSJ is to select and publish the most important papers with the broadest significance to the chemistry community in general. The Chemical Society of Japan hopes all visitors will notice the usefulness of our journal and the abundance of topics, and welcomes more submissions from scientists all over the world.
