Abstract

The nucleus of the Li+ in a C60 fullerene by a neutron diffraction study was closer to the inner wall of the fullerene cage than that of the center of its electron density, and the hyperconjugation interaction would arise between the vacant Li+ orbital and the π orbitals of the hexagonal moiety of the C60.
