摘要
(Figure Presented) Open-mouthed fullerene swallows H2 whole: Direct observation of a H2 molecule that is fully encapsulated by a derivative of an aza-thia open-cage fullerene (see model) is achieved by synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis of single crystals. A 3D electron-density map obtained by the maximum entropy method shows a single H2 molecule (red) floating in the center of a hollow cavity in the open-cage fullerene molecule (yellow). © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
