Bonding mechanism in the transition-metal fullerides studied by symmetry-selective resonant x-ray inelastic scattering

The bonding between titanium atoms and C-60 has been examined by means of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. Using the symmetry-selection rules in the scattering process the symmetry of the orbitals involved in the bond formation was determined. It was
