Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of employing arc process at preparation C
60, C
70Etc. stablizing soccerballene and in the hope of forming mixed with fullerene (heterofullerene) and relevant cluster compound to the method for wherein introducing nitrogen (N), boron elements such as (B) in the classical cluster soccerballene process.
Background technology
The birth of soccerballene chemistry is based on C
60Find and further investigation, and C
60Discovery, then have benefited from the windfall of scientists to the research of interspace carbon compound.Early 1980s, Smally, Curl and Kroto have found the duster compound molecule that a series of even carbon atoms form on mass spectrum with laser evaporation graphite the time, and have successfully detected and compare C
58Strong 30 times C
60Thereby. drawn back the research prelude of soccerballene chemistry.Afterwards, they had proposed C
60Have the imagination of sealing cage structure, and analyze with the modern chemistry theory and to have made up ball caged molecule model.Owing to this model is to conceive out under the shape influence of U.S.'s globe building thing, and this buildings is Buckminster Fuller design, so the building scholar in order to commemorate that this is famous, and they are with C
60Called after bucky-ball (Buckyball) is afterwards directly with C
60Be commonly referred to as soccerballene (Fullerene) etc. the cage type molecule.And mixed with fullerene is meant that one or more carbon atoms are replaced the material that is generated by other atoms.Since soccerballene is found, the exploration of its synthetic method never had been interrupted.As the synthetic method of classics,
(W.
L.D.Lamb, K.Fostiropoulos, D.R.Huffman, Nature 1990, and 347:354) arc process is the main synthetic method of soccerballene and mixed with fullerene always.
Although up to the present, found out the synthetic method of multiple soccerballene in the world.But the investigators of soccerballene are attempting that always it is formed mechanism and are exploring, and explore the productive rate of arc process production soccerballene under the different condition.The formation condition that sounds out soccerballene is to kind and the size of dividing potential drop, power type, electric current and voltage, the diameter of positive and negative electrode and the dependency of a plurality of parameters such as profile, reaction cavity volumetrical size and catalyzer such as buffer gas, thereby according to the influence degree of these parameters to the productive rate size of soccerballene kind and various soccerballenes, it is formed mechanism reasonably infer and judge, go to explore the formation mechanism of soccerballene from the angle of physics and chemistry.And the study on the synthesis of mixed with fullerene also is the effective means that the research soccerballene forms mechanism.Synthetic and the sign of mixed with fullerene is the challenging research focus of tool in current soccerballene chemical research field.Because heteroatomic intervention changes the structure and the electronic property of pure carbon cage possibly, therefore these mixed with fullerene are being applied aspect superconduction, opto-electronic device and the Organic Ferromagnet probably, and may be widely used with the precursor that makes up nano material and other fullerene derivates as semi-conductor.In addition, heteroatomic doping can also make the oxidation-reduction quality of soccerballene be improved.Full carbon fullerene C with classics
60And C
70Compare, the desmotrope of mixed with fullerene is not only easier to be oxidized, and easier being reduced.For example, for the soccerballene C of double heteroatoms
58X
2, C
68X
2, C
58BN and C
68BN, along with the increase of distance between two heteroatomss, ionizing potential progressively descends and electron affinity progressively raises; Distance is big more between two heteroatomss, and the difference between system and desmotrope on redox property is just big more, and this result has illustrated the dependence of relative position between mixed with fullerene electronic property and heteroatoms once more.
The first mixed with fullerene C in 1991
60Materials chemistry and vitochemical new era have been started in the successful preparation of-xBx (x=1~6), and many underlying issues such as its stability, electronic property, one-tenth key characteristic all need to go to explore before us.In the same year, Pradeep etc. have reported and have contained part N

60And C
70The carbon ash, but separate and Purification is still a great difficult problem.Along with the successful preparation of the assorted soccerballene of maroscopic quantity B, the work of this respect is expected to obtain in the recent period certain progress.Simultaneously, other heteroatomss are doped to have also obtained success in the cage, nineteen ninety-five Stry etc. has obtained the assorted soccerballene C that Sauerstoffatom replaces experimentally

During preparation mixed uniformly BN and Ag mixture in proportion are positioned in the carbon-point of arc discharge device, stand-by, press mass ratio BN: Ag=1: 0.3.The resistance to air loss of check reaction unit is fixed on the arc discharge device positive terminal to the carbon-point of putting into BN and Ag mixture, the capping cavity.Open all vacuum two logical pistons that link to each other with reactant gases in the induction trunk and the vacuum two logical pistons that link to each other with assist gas, open the vacuum stop,threeway that links to each other with vacuum pump, begin system vacuumized until vacuum tightness and be not less than 0.1Pa, close the vacuum stop,threeway, open the vacuum two logical pistons that communicate with assist gas, open the air valve on the assist gas steel cylinder again, repeat " closing the vacuum stop,threeway; open the vacuum two logical pistons that communicate with assist gas, open the air valve on the assist gas steel cylinder again " this step 3 time again.In reaction cavity, put into He and N
2Mixed gas is opened water-cooled tube, arc welding machine and arc initiation device, is current setting 80A simultaneously, makes the starting the arc between two electrodes.After the question response cavity is reduced to room temperature, close water coolant, in reaction cavity, introduce N
2To normal pressure, take out the carbon ash that reaction generates, weighing, as solvent, Soxhlet is extracted with toluene, and evaporation toluene gets target product.
He that in reaction cavity, puts into and N
2The air pressure of mixed gas is preferably 5.3 * 10
4Pa, He and N
2Mixed gas is 1: 1 by volume.Make between two electrodes after the starting the arc regulating two distance between electrodes, preferably control two interelectrode distances between 1~2mm, make reaction continue to carry out.The carbon ash that reaction generates and toluene by quality than carbon ash: toluene≤50.
Analysis of experimental data mainly according to APCI-MS (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrum), is analyzed reaction product.The mass spectrum that Fig. 3 represents is to obtain under the reaction conditions of table 2, the 720.5th, and soccerballene C
60Molecular ion peak; And 265.3 are background peaks in the mass spectrum (what occur in the following mass spectra peak all are).After the short molecular ion peak between 250~500 amplifies as shown in Figure 4.According to the isotopic distribution of C, N, B unit prime element, can determine that these more weak molecular ion peaks are CxByNz class cluster compounds.And table 3 is another different reaction conditionss, and different with table 2 is to be mixed with a certain proportion of silver powder among the BN of use.Fig. 5 is the corresponding molion figure of this sample, and Fig. 6 is corresponding enlarged view.
Table 2
Table 3
Can find the CxByNz intensity showed increased that occurs Fig. 3 from Fig. 6, this is the silver powder that adds of meaning just also, has played catalytic effect, improves the content of these doped aggregate clusters in the carbon ash.In order to explore the best proportioning of silver powder optimum content, can make further quantitative experiment, referring to Fig. 2, as calculated: the AB of reaction partly is about 90mm, AB section carbon-point quality 7.25g, carbon-point intermediary hole can add about 0.90gBN powder at most.Through the different proportionings of continuous debugging BN, find to work as M with Ag
BN: M
Ag=10: 3 o'clock, the intensity maximum of the doped aggregate cluster of generation.If BN is too much, can not give full play to the catalytic activity of Ag; If the content of Ag is too much, then influence the effect of arc-over, be difficult for striking and produce a large amount of ultraviolet rays.So, think M
BN: M
AgThe=10: the 3rd, the best proportioning under this condition.By the isotopic distribution of material in the mass spectrum, can determine necessarily to contain in this mixture the B element; Ultimate analysis shows in this mixture that the mass ratio of C and N is 8.96.For the more analysis of system, can use highly sensitive mass spectrograph to the synthetic material, and utilize Appi-MS (normal atmosphere Photoionization Mass Spectrometry) that the doped aggregate cluster of preparation is done further and determine.The part mass spectrum that Fig. 7 makes for the Appi ionizer.By mass spectrum 7, can find that almost total mass number differs between 11~14 between each adjacent molecular ion peak, that is to say that adjacent molion differs a B or C or N on the number of atom, this illustrates that these doped aggregate clusters are likely a series of mixture; These information, the mass spectrum texture ratio for preparing classical soccerballene to the arc-over of classics is more similar.And,, and utilize existing knowledge to infer the relevant nature of some mixed with fullerene about classical fullerene compound stability rule with its foundation relation between the two.In order to prove the relation between these clusters, to have chosen several groups of peaks, and it has been MS-MS (multi-stage ms), hope can be found the relation between them from the fragment of these materials.Fig. 8 is that to choose molecular ion peak be one group of peak of 330.3, and it is MS-MS, and its result as shown in Figure 9.From Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, can find 330.3 quasi-molecular ions, after the mass spectrum bombardment, successively occurred 302.2 and 276.1.From 330.3 to 302.2, molecular weight differs 28, can think to fall two N (M from order quasi-molecular ions (330.3) bombardment
N=14) atom; And from 302.2 to 276.1, quality differs 26, and this is to fall CN (M from fragment peak 302.2 bombardments
C+ M
N=26).Equally, bombardment molecular ion peak 368.3 can produce fragment peak 343.3 (BN is fallen in bombardment) and 318.3 (BN is fallen in bombardment); Bombard 227.2, can produce fragment peak 203.3 (2C is fallen in bombardment) equally and (BC) fallen in 180.2 bombardments, the molecular weight ratio that shows on all these and the mass spectrum is more identical.From these experiments.Can find that when some molecular ion peaks are bombarded it is always simultaneously hit two atoms (NN, CC, BB, CB, CN or BN), and reach next comparatively stable fragmention.This with to classical soccerballene (C
60Or C
70) when carrying out ion bombardment, " the magic number rule " of generation is closely similar.
Be positioned over BN and Ag mixture in the arc discharge device carbon-point, may be selected to be 1: 0.1 or 1: 0.5 by mass ratio BN: Ag.Close the vacuum stop,threeway, open the vacuum two logical pistons that communicate with assist gas, the step of opening the air valve on the assist gas steel cylinder again can repeat 4 times.In reaction cavity, put into He and N
2Mixed gas, open water-cooled tube, arc welding machine and arc initiation device after, can be current setting at 60A or 90A.He that in reaction cavity, puts into and N
2The air pressure of mixed gas can be 4.8 * 10
4Pa or 5.5 * 10
4Pa.
