endohedral (not comparable)
(chemistry) Describing a fullerene (or similar molecule) that has additional atoms, ions, or clusters enclosed within their inner spheres
endohedral (plural endohedrals)
(chemistry) Such a compound
Later experiments confirmed their proposed structure, and the team moved on to synthesize endohedral fullerenes that had a metal atom inside the hollow carbon shell. Source: Internet
So-called endohedral fullerenes have ions or small molecules incorporated inside the cage atoms. Source: Internet
The C 72 structure is also in this class, but the endohedral version with a trapped lanthanide -group atom is soluble due to the interaction of the metal atom and the electronic states of the fullerene. Source: Internet
The endohedral fullerene molecules formed are stable at high temperatures. Source: Internet
These endohedral fullerenes are usually synthesized by doping in the metal atoms in an arc reactor or by laser evaporation. Source: Internet
