Popis: Both freshly sublimed C 6 0 and "off-the-shelf' C 6 0 were reduced with the alkali metals in hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA). When pure C 6 0 is reduced to its trianion radical, it condenses with a molecule of HMPA to yield C 6 0 3-(HMPA)_, which exhibits a typical EPR pattern for a system with a doublet multiplicity and hyperfine splitting from the 3 1 P (a 3 1 P = 0.93 G). When Rb or Cs serves as the reducing metal, hyperfine is observed from the metal cation (a 1 3 3 Cs = 0.78 G, a 8 7 Rb = 1.393 G), which is involved in tight ion association with the P=O moiety (C 6 0 3-(HMPA)_,M + ). The small cations do not form intimate ion pairs, and both C 6 0 3-(HMPA)_ and C 6 0 3-(HMPA) 2 are present in solution when M = Na or Li. The latter species exhibits an EPR splitting from two 3 1 Ps. The "off-the-shelf" C 6 0 contains C 1 2 0 O as an impurity. Extensive reduction of this impurity results in a charged multianionic state where very large splittings from three 3 1 Ps are observed.
