Radiation resistance of endohedral metallofullerenols under neutron irradiation

The endohedral metallofullerenols Me@C2n (OH)38–40 + C2n (OH)38–40 (Me = Tb, Sc, Gd, Fe, Pr, Mo) have been obtained and their radiation resistance under irradiation by a neutron flux of 8 × 1013 cm–2 s–1 has been studied. The factors affecting the radiation resistance of endohedral metallofullerenols are discussed.
