Abstract

The structure and vibrational spectrum of Gd₂ and Gd ₂C₂ endofullerenes are studied through Raman spectroscopy and universal force field (UFF) calculations. Hindered rotations, shown by both theory and experiment, indicate the formation of a Gd-cage bond, which reduces the ideal symmetry of the cage. We have conducted Raman studies of Gd ₂@C₉₀, Gd₂@C₇₉N, and Gd ₂C₂@C₉₂. We have also studied Y ₂C₂@C₉₂ for comparison. Several modes have been identified which provide information about the endohedral complex.
