Mechanochemical synthesis of a novel C(60) dimer connected by a silicon bridge and a single bond.
[reaction: see text] A novel C(60) dimer connected by a silicon bridge and a single bond was synthesized by the mechanochemical solid-state reaction employing a high-speed vibration milling technique and fully characterized by the (1)H and (13)C NMR, APCI mass, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The presence of the electronic interaction between the two C(60) cages was demonstrated by the electrochemical method.
