Abstract

The application of in situ ESR–UV/VIS/NIR spectroelectrochemistry to the highly purified C 82:3 fullerene isomer with C 2 symmetry made the detailed characterization of the radical structures formed by electrochemical generation possible. This first comprehensive spectroelectrochemical study of the stable radical anion and cation of an empty cage higher fullerene in acid-free organic electrolyte is a contribution to the general understanding of charged states at endohedral fullerenes.
