Platinum Fulleride Reduction by Molecular Deuterium or 9, 10-dihydroanthracene

Abstract

Abstract C60Pt reacts with D2 (1-2 MPa D2 pressure and 373-723 K) to form C60Dx (x = 2-26) and Pt clusters. C60 in platinum fulleride is also reduced by dihydroanthracene to hydrofullerenes. The value of EbPt4f7/2 (72.4 eV) obtained for platinum in the starting C60Pt suggests partial charge transfer from the Pt atom to C60 in C60Pt.
