One-Dimensional Metallofullerene Crystal Generated Inside Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Electron microscope imaging for gadolinium metallofullerenes encapsulating in single-wall carbon nanotubes $[(\mathrm{Gd}@\mathrm{C}{}_{82}{)}_{n}@\mathrm{SWNTs}]$ identifies the single Gd atom encaged in each. The intermolecular distance between $\mathrm{Gd}@\mathrm{C}{}_{82}$ is extremely regular,... View More
