First soluble M@C60 derivatives provide enhanced access to metallofullerenes and permit in vivo evaluation of Gd@C60[C(COOH)2]10 as a MRI contrast agent

M@C(60) and related endohedral metallofullerenes comprise a significant portion of the metallofullerene yield in the traditional arc synthesis, but their chemistry and potential applications have been largely overlooked because of their sparse solubility. In this work, procedures are described to solublize Gd@C(60) species for the first time by forming the derivative, Gd@C(60)[C(COOCH(2)CH(3))(2)](10), and its hydrolyzed water-soluble form, Gd@C(60)[C(COOH)(2)](10). Imparting water solubility to Gd@C(60) permits its evaluation as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. Relaxometry measurements for Gd@C(60)[C(COOH)(2)](10) reveal it to possess a relaxivity (4.6 mM(-1) s(-1) at 20 MHz and 40 degrees C) comparable to that of commercially available Gd(III) chelate-based MRI agents. An in vivo MRI biodistribution study in a rodent model reveals Gd@C(60)[C(COOH)(2)](10) to possess the first non-reticuloendothelial system (RES) localizing behavior for a water-soluble endohedral metallofullerene species, consistent with its lack of intermolecular aggregation in solution as determined by light-scattering measurements. This first derivatization and use of a M@C(60) species suggests new potential for metallofullerene technologies by reducing reliance on the chromatographic purification procedures normally employed for the far less abundant M@C(82) and related endohedrals. The recognition that water-soluble fullerene derivatives can be designed to avoid high levels of RES uptake is an important step toward fullerene-based pharmaceutical development.     

Gd@ C2n的高效合成与提取

Endohedral metallofullerene Gd@C2n were synthesized with high-yield using the carbon-arc discharge method of activating the Gd2O3-containing graphite anode in situ and back-burning technique. A series of Cd@C(2n) for 2n from 70 to 96 were effectively extracted by toluene at high-temperature and under high-pressure condition. Gd@C(82), Gd@C(74) were considered to be fairly stable and soluble metallofullerene species.     

Does Gd@C82 have an anomalous endohedral structure? Synthesis and single crystal X-ray structure of the carbene adduct

We report here the results on single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of the Gd@C82 carbene adduct (Gd@C82(Ad), Ad = adamantylidene). The Gd atom in Gd@C82(Ad) is located at an off-centered position near a hexagonal ring in the C2v-C82 cage, as found for M@C82 (M = Sc and La) and La@C82(Ad). Theoretical calculation also confirms the position of the Gd atom in the X-ray crystal structure.     

水溶性金属勒烯衍生物的合成和表征

金属富勒烯具有表面积大(2 nm2)、整体电中性、金属离子的解离常数Kd为0等独特的性质, 在医学上具有重要的应用价值[1～7]. 要将其用于生物体系, 需引入亲水基团. 水溶性Gd@C82(OH)x已被证实是一种比临床上应用的GdDTPA更好的核磁成像造影剂(其弛豫率比GdDTPA高20倍[7]), 并有望用作放射性示踪剂和放射性药物等, 且在生物体内外具有稳定性[2～6], 是生物医学上很有吸引力的材料. 本文在高效合成、分离纯化 Gd@C82的基础上合成了其多羟基衍生物、多取代氨基酸衍生物和多取代氨基磺酸衍生物, 并作了初步分析.

Structural and magnetic properties of Gd3N@C80

Using relativistic and on-site correlation-corrected density functional theory, we have investigated the structural and magnetic properties of recently synthesized Gd3N@C80. The most stable structure of Gd3N@C80 has the three magnetic Gd ions pointing to the centers of hexagons in C80. The magnetic ground state of this structure has the three coplanar spins (S = 7/2) offset by 120 degrees angles. At the same time, the state with the highest multiplicity, where all the spins are parallel aligned, is found only about 4.5 meV higher in energy. Therefore, at room temperature, we expect Gd3N@C80 to be paramagnetic with the spin fluctuating between different multiplicities. As a result, Gd3N@C80 may exhibit greater proton relaxivity than Gd@C60 and Gd@C82 and serve as a possible candidate for the next generation of commercially available magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents.     

A density functional theory study of shake-up satellites in photoemission of carbon fullerenes and nanotubes

Carbon 1s shake-up spectra of fullerenes C(60), C(70), and C(82) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) of (5,5), (6,5), and (7,6) have been investigated by using equivalent core hole Kohn-Sham density functional theory approach, in which only one-electron transition between molecular orbitals within core-hole potential is considered. The calculated spectra are generally in good agreement with results of equivalent core-hole time-dependent density functional theory calculations and available experiments, and reliable assignments for the complicated shake-up spectra of such large systems are provided. Calculations have also been performed for endohedral metallofullerene Gd@C(82) to demonstrate the possible use of shake-up processes to identify the charge transfer between the metal ion and the carbon cage. It is found that the exciton binding energy of all systems under investigation is around 0.5 eV.     

Gd3N@C2n (n = 40, 42, and 44): remarkably low HOMO-LUMO gap and unusual electrochemical reversibility of Gd3N@C88

High-performance liquid chromatography was used to isolate two new trimetallic nitride endohedral fullerenes, Gd3N@C2n (n = 42 and 44), and they were characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, UV-vis-NIR, and cyclic voltammetry. It was found that their electronic HOMO-LUMO gaps depend pronouncedly on the size of the cage, from a large band gap for Gd3N@C80 (2.02 V) to a small band gap for Gd3N@C88 (1.49 V). The electrochemical properties also change dramatically with the size of the cage, going from irreversible for the C80 cage to reversible for Gd3N@C88. The latter is the largest trimetallic cluster inside C88 isolated and characterized to date. Gd3N@C88 has one of the lowest electrochemical energy gaps for a nonderivatized metallofullerene.     

钆基富勒烯磁共振成像分子影像探针的研究进展

含有顺磁性金属钆离子及钆团簇的内嵌金属富勒烯(如Gd@C82,Gd@C60和Gd3 N@C80)及其衍生物是一类高效的MRI分子影像探针,其造影效率远优于传统钆基螯合物造影剂.重要的是,碳笼的高度稳定性保护了内嵌团簇,使之免受体内代谢物质的进攻和防止了外泄,从而大大提高了其生物安全性.同时,碳笼还是其它生物活性物质或分子影像探针的有效载体,易赋予其多功能性,从而提高疾病检测的灵敏度和准确性.本文介绍了多种钆内嵌金属富勒烯分子影像探针的研究进展,讨论了内嵌金属团簇和笼外化学修饰对其弛豫性能的影响,以及不同的功能基团对其生物相容性和动物体内分布的影响,并展望了其兼具多功能分子影像探针载体的应用前景.     

Switchable semiconductive property of the polyhydroxylated metallofullerene

The temperature-sensitive property of polyhydroxylated metallofullerene film of Gd@C82(OH)x with special hydroxyl number was studied using synchrotron radiation ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and TEM techniques. From room temperature (RT) to 4 degrees C the photoelectron onset energy of the spectra of Gd@C82(OH)12 shifted from 1.9 to 0.2 eV, indicating that Gd@C82(OH)12 automatically shifted from insulator at RT to semiconductor at 4 degrees C. However, this could not be observed for Gd@C82(OH)20. TEM experiments show that the variation of conductivity can be ascribed to formation of a microcrystal under low temperature. The dipole moment induced unique intermolecular interactions and self-assembled microcrystalline structures for Gd@C82(OH)12. This may cause reconstruction of the upper valence band formed by pi-like electrons as well as the density of states (DOS) around the Fermi level (EF) and reconstruct the deeper valence band formed by sigma-like electrons, eventually resulting in a shift to a semiconducting nature. These findings revealed a novel nature for polyhydroxylated Gd@C82(OH)x materials: Their insulating properties can be controllably tuned into semiconducting ones as a function of temperature.
