Abstract Endohedral N@C-60 (atomic nitrogen inside C-60) is produced by ion implantation. N@C-60 is soluble in organic solvents and stable in air. A special Feature is that it gives a very clear hyperfine split EPR signal with sharp lines even in the solid. This makes it an ideal probe for monitoring chemical reactions of C-60 via changes of the EPR signal. As an example, the formation of the monoadduct of diethyl malonate on C-60 will be discussed. In general, N@C-60 can be used as a probe or tracer for monitoring reactions or the transport of C-60. We show that C-60 is an ideal trap for atomic nitrogen. Nitrogen is in the center of C-60 and keeps its atomic structure. In a first experiment, the Vibrations of nitrogen in C-60 were studied. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
