Abstract

Vanadium (V)-C₆₀ mixed clusters were produced by two laser vaporization methods. In the mass spectra of cationic V_n(C₆₀)_m⁺, the abundant clusters were produced at the composition of (n,m) = (1,1), (1,2) (2,3), (3-4,4), and (5,5). This pattern is explicable in terms of a multiple dumbbell structure V atom and C₆₀ are alternatively piled up. The ionization energy and the reactivity of the dumbbell clusters toward O₂ and CO show V₁(C₆₀)₂ takes a structure of V₁(η⁶ -C₆₀)₂.
