Popis: Results of semiempirical energy calculations suggested that a [6,6]-closed C60S fullerene sulfide might be stable. Attempts were therefore undertaken to synthesize the compound by UV photolysis of C60 in CS2 and by the heating of mixtures of C60 and S8 to 325 and 400°C. Any sulfide, if formed, was present in undetectably small quantities. However, [12C60 34S]− ions were observed when a mixture of solid C60 and elemental sulfur was analyzed by Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry.
