Syntheses and Physical Properties of Complexes of Fullerene with Magnetic Metal Porphyrins

Crystals containing C 60 and M(OEP) (M 2+ =Pd, Cu, Ag ; OEP 2− =octaethylporphinato) were synthesized. From the X-ray analysis of the cocrystallites, it is revealed that the porphyrin molecules are still remaining their planar structures without deforming to the fit to the curved surface of fullerene.
