Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to investigate the intermolecular interactions of the endohedral metallofulerene complex in water and various metal cation solutions. These interactions were observed using a methodology that is particularly sensitive to environmental changes surrounding the probe molecule, fluorescence spectroscopy. Changes in the intensity (I) of the fluorescence peak were monitored to indicate and characterize the nature of these intermolecular interactions. Certain types of interactions will enhance fluorescence while other modes will reduce fluorescence intensity. The results of this investigation are presented within this report.
