摘要
Two different structural isomers of Nd@C-82 have been isolated using two-stage high-performance liquid chromatography. Their molecular orbital structures have been studied by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Matching filled and empty-states STM images to DFT calculations allowed us to distinguish directly between the two isomers on the surface. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
