Abstract

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of non-IPR endohedral fullerene Sc₃N@C₆₈ are measured. A simulated spectrum generated from a geometry optimized structure calculated by the density functional theory reproduces the UPS very well. XPS chemical shift of Sc2p_3/2 level and electron population analysis of Sc₃N@C₆₈ suggest the electronic configuration of (Sc ₃N)⁶⁺@C₆₈^6-. The Sc2p_3/2 and N1s levels of Sc₃N@C₆₈, Sc₃N@C₇₈ and Sc₃N@C₈₀ move toward lower binding energy in accordance with cage size contraction.
