title: Chemical oxidation of endohedral metallofullerenes: identification and separation of distinct classes.
abstract: Chemical oxidation is useful for solubilizing and separating endohedral metallofullerenes, as demonstrated here by a separation of three categories of Gd@C2n species and by the solubilization of Tm@C60+ and Tm@C70+ for the first time.
