Endohedral metallofullerenes have special structures, therefore we are interested in. High-temperature laser vaporization method and direct current arc discharge method, which are the two methods for preparing endohedral metallofullerenes. Here we study the preparation of endohedral metallofullerenes by direct current arc discharge method, which uses two graphite rods as electrode and vaporizes the one which infill metal complex in high temperature and low helium gas pressure environment. We study in some metal complexes such as Mo(C5Ph5)2, Fe(CO)9, Ag and Au. After reaction, we collect the soot produced in reaction and choose different solvents to separate the products from it with Soxhlet extraction.
