Syntheses and physical properties of complexes of fullerene with magnetic metal porphyrins
Crystals containing C-60 and M(OEP) (M2+ = Pd, Cu, Ag; OEP2- = octaethylporphinato) were synthesized. From the X-ray analysis of the cocrystallites, it is revealed that the porphyrin molecules are still remaining their planar structures without deforming to the fit to the curved surface of fullerene.
