Page Department of Physics and Astronomy, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287 Introduction Monomer + Dimer + Trimers (5 possible structures) + Tetramers (17 possible structures) + Higher oligomers (insolubes) Photopolymer = [1], [2], [3] … a = 13.93 – 14.05 Å average ~2 cycloadditional bonds / C60 unit [2], [4] Different preparation conditions different ratio of the compounds [3], [5] Measured Ag(2) modes Preparation Calculations Measurements • Illumination of C60 + saturated C60 solution with 2*23W at 320-360K for 40 days C60 + (C60)2 + soluble (C60)n>2 + insoluble (C60)n>2 • Repeated extraction with toluene solid photopolymer with less C60, (C60)2 solution of C60 + (C60)2 • HPLC separation of the solution (C60)2, 99.3% purity • For the preparation of trimer see poster of É. Kováts • Method: • QMD (quantum molecular dynamics) [6] • local pseudoatomic orbitals, minimal basis • best results: 200-600 cm-1 (FarIR): with 1.05 uniform scaling 2% error • intensities not reliable • Molecules: • triangle: most possible (C60)3 • rectangle: most possible (C60)4 • Raman: Renishaw System 1000B microscope • + 785nm laser further polymerization avoided • MIR: KBr pellet in Bruker IFS28 • FIR: pure photopolymer pellet @ LHe (4 K) in Bruker IFS 113v • Weak lines seen sharper lines 5 cm-1/ cycloadditional bond Photopolymer contains: C60 + (C60)2 + (C60)3 + higher oligomers Measured and calculated MidIR spectra Measured and calculated FarIR spectra calc. rectangle calc. triangle exp. photopolymer exp. dimer Photopolymer contains dimer, but other oligomers are present MidIR: assignment of oligomer peaks not conclusive FarIR: fewer lines + no C60 lines No interball modes 30-200 cm-1 Assignment of photopolymer spectrum with dimer, triangle and rectangle Unassigned peaks: insoluble oligomers + small amount of other trimers and tetramers Conclusions • Ag(2): 5 cm-1/ cycloadditional bond • No interball modes in IR 30-200 cm-1 • FarIR more informative for assignment than MidIR • Photopolymer contains monomer + dimer + triangle + rectangle + other oligomers References [1] A.
