The treated samples studied by electronic and FT-IR spectroscopy have not shown any evidence about fullerenes decomposition or radiopolymerization. However, through Raman spectroscopy it was possible to observe that γ radiation induces C60 dimerization and trimerization. It has additionally been discovered that γ-treated C60 (oligomerized) can be easily photopolymerized in the solid state by post-irradiation with laser light at 514 nm while this phenomenon has not been observed by using laser light at 782 nm and considerably higher laser power. Previously to this study, C60 photopolymerization was known to occur only by using ultraviolet light. For comparison also graphite was irradiated with 1000 kGy of γ radiation. Irradiated graphite shows considerably changes in its Raman spectrum, showing the formation of glassy carbon domains, perhaps carbon onions.

The computations are primarily performed with semiempirical quantum-chemical methods (AM1, PM3, SAM1), and altogether 199 cages are optimized. The energetics is further checked through ab initio HF SCF computations with the standard 3-21G basis set, and also by density functional theory at the B3LYP level in the standard 6-31G* basis set. All five levels of theory suggest a D4d cage (two four-membered rings, eight pentagons, eight hexagons) as the lowest-energy structure. Temperature effects are treated in the terms of partition functions so that the entropy contributions are considered accordingly. The thermodynamic treatment points out five cages significantly populated at high temperatures. At very high temperatures the structure lowest in energy is not the most abundant isomer. There are just six conventional fullerenes C32, built exclusively from pentagons and hexagons, however, only two of them show significant populations at high temperatures. The remaining three relatively stable cages contain at least one four-membered ring. No structure with a heptagon shows a non-negligible concentration at high temperatures. The study suggests that in the non-IPR region the quasi-fullerene cages with four-membered rings can in some cases be more important than the conventional fullerenes built from pentagons and hexagons only.","PeriodicalId":12470,"journal":{"name":"Fullerene Science and Technology","volume":"162 1","pages":"595 - 613"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80250435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
