Structure and Dynamics of a New Class of Potassium-Corannulene Salts
Abstract: Corannulene (C20H10) is a bowl-shaped molecule whose structure can be seen as a one third fragment of bukminsterfullerene. Recently a series of potassium-corannulene charge transfer salts have been synthesised which show great promise within the realms of superconductivity and hydrogen absorption. We seek to perform neutron vibrational spectroscopy as the necessary last piece of the puzzle (including X-ray diffraction and density functional theory) to obtain a full understanding of the structure, local dynamics and charge distribution. This knowledge is essential in order to progress our understanding of hydrogen storage mechanisms for this entire class of materials.
