Metallo-Carbohedrenes -- Study of a New Class of Materials and Some Other Related Transition Metal Nitrides and Silicides
Abstract
Extensive studies were conducted of the metastable dissociation of binary metal Met-Cars which provided confirming evidence in the case of the binary systems, of the important role of carbon loss at the point of cage closing. This strongly supports the mechanism of Met-Car formation as involving the statistical assembly of MC2 units until the point of case closure, whereupon two C2 units are lost.
