Synthesis and properties of open fullerenes encapsulating ammonia and methane

We describe the synthesis and characterisation of open fullerene (1) and its reduced form (2) in which CH₄ and NH₃ are encapsulated, respectively. The ¹H NMR resonance of endohedral NH₃ is broadened by scalar coupling to the quadrupolar ¹⁴N nucleus, which relaxes rapidly. This broadening is absent f...
