Abstract

Relative equilibrium populations of the five lowest-energy isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) isomeric structures of Pr@C (Formula presented.) under high-temperature fullerene synthesis conditions were calculated with the Gibbs energy terms based on molecular characteristics derived using density functional theory (DFT) treatments (B3LYP/6-31+G (Formula presented.) ∼SDD energetics and B3LYP/6-31G (Formula presented.) ∼SDD entropy). Two leading isomers were identified, major Pr@ (Formula presented.) -C (Formula presented.) and minor Pr@ (Formula presented.) -C (Formula presented.). The calculated isomeric relative equilibrium populations agreed with observations.
