Researchers from the University of Tsukuba successfully deposited a high-purity Li@C60 monolayer film on a copper surface using [Li@C60] NTf2− salt. The film was then studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations. The pz superatom molecular orbital was found to be delocalized and stable, providing a robust model. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of organic electronics and provide a useful system for further fundamental research.
