Talk:Endohedral fullerene

message: Hello,
I took a quick look at the article about "endohedral fullerenes". Even though I am not an expert in the whole contents of the article, I did detect a couple of errors in the part that concerns my participation in this area. I was a graduate student in 1993 working for Prof. Martin Saunders, and I was the one who carried out the experiments that led to the incorporation of He and Ne into C60, in low concentrations, and later to the incorporation of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe in higher concentrations.
The article is incorrect in stating that the experiments carried out at 2500 bars, led to the incorporation of He (and in particular 3He) in one out of 650,000 molecules. In fact, the experiments that led to this incorporation level were carried out at a much lower pressure (about 10 bars). The experiments carried out at pressures closer to 3000 bars led to incorporations of up to 0.1 % (for He, Ne, Ar, and Kr; incorporation of Xe was much less efficient), and even higher incorporation levels can be achieved if the process is repeated on previously labeled material.
I don't quite understand how wikipedia works. I would expect that the person that wrote the article made the appropriate corrections. Otherwise, I will do it.
The work carried out at low pressure that led to the incorporation of He or Ne in 1 out of 650,000 molecules of C60 is described in:
Stable compounds of helium and neon. He@C60 and Ne@C60. M. Saunders, H. A. Jiménez-Vázquez, R. J. Cross y R. J. Poreda,  Science 1993, 259, 1428–1430.
The high-pressure work was reported in:
Incorporation of helium, neon, argon, krypton and xenon into fullerenes using high pressure. M. Saunders, H. A. Jiménez-Vázquez, R. J. Cross, S. Mroczkowski, M. L. Gross, D. E. Giblin y R. J. Poreda,  J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 2193–2194.

thread_title: Error in the article

message: I'm left wondering what these things are good for.  Do they have any special properties, or what?

replies: text:  I recall hearing in my uni days that they're potentially useful for quantum computing.  But I agree that there ought to be some information about this in the article.  Does anybody fancy a stab at writing an Applications section? — Smjg (talk) 21:53, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's the point? 

message: I am just curious if you know where that term comes from and who used it first.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.14.57.130 (talk) 19:43, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Endo- means "in" or "inside"; i think this refers to how atom(s) are trapped inside the fullerene molecule.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 04:00, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  The origin of the term "endohedral" 

message: As of recently, endohedral fullerenes are perhaps the world's most expensiv material, at ~$150M per gram; more expensiv than californium-252 (~$27M/gram). This Wikipedia article should describe this. Solomonfromfinland (talk) 03:59, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
