Abstract
The PM3, AM1, and MINDO3 semiemperical methods are used to calculate the the energy difference between C~60~O~N~ and C~60~O and the bond dissociation energy necessary to cleave neutral and negatively charged (C~60~)~2~ dimers and epoxide dimers, (C~60~)~2~O~N~, to their respective monomers C~60~, and C~60~O~N/2~. The results show that the anions of the dimers are significantly more stable than neutral dimers. This result may explain the higher thermal stability of the observed ferromagnetic phase in photolyzed C~60~. which has been attributed to epoxide dimers and oligomers. It also provides an explanation for the origin of unpaired electron spin necessary for ferromagnetism. Published 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 26: 803β806, 2005

Photo-transformation of G, C,,,, C,O, and C,Os in toluene results in destruction of these species. CW and CT0 are transformed with equal rates to form C,O and C,OO. No higher oxides of these fullerenes are formed. C,O is destroyed twice as fast and &,,02 approximately 40-50 times faster than Cs Prod
We describe the HPLC separation and identification of N@C60 and N2@C60. These species were observed after eleven sequential HPLC separations. Their retention times are in the same range as those of the other noninteractive endohedral species of C60, such as noble gas endohedral C60. The separation f
