Light-induced release of nitrogen from fullerene cages

  • 1. Phys. Chemie III, TU Darmstadt Petersenstr. 20, D-64287 Darmstadt (Germany)

Description

The release of atomic nitrogen from fullerene cages under irradiation with ultraviolet laserlight has been studied. The experiments show that there is a more favorable decay pathway for N-C60 than for N-C70, indicating that the lifetime of the metastable triplet state is not controlling the escape
