Kinetic stability of metallofullerenes as predicted by the bond resonance energy model
Literature Information
Endohedral metallofullerenes consist of a negatively charged fullerene cage and one or more metal cations within it. The minimum bond resonance energy (min BRE) proved to be a useful index for predicting the degree of kinetic stability of metallofullerenes. It was found that all metallofullerenes so far extracted and structurally identified have a negatively charged carbon cage with a min BRE> − 0.100 ∣β∣. All isolable or extractable metallofullerenes are then presumed to be not only thermodynamically but also kinetically stable in this sense. It is noteworthy that some of the carbon cages employed for the formation of metallofullerenes are kinetically very unstable when they are deprived of negative charge. All molecular anions of C84 with − 1 to − 6 formal charges are predicted to be kinetically stable with a min BRE> − 0.100 ∣β∣.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
