Abstract

An investigation of the formation mechanism of metallofullerene presented by ab initio calculations with two theoretical models. Both energetic calculations and frequency analyses exclude the 'fullerene-road' mechanism and support the C76 + C6Y growing mechanism, indicating that the involvement of metal atoms would affect the fullerene formation process seriously.
