Electrochemical synthesis of polymerized LiC60 films

Article Abstract:

Insoluble reddish-brown thin carbon films were formed through the electrochemical reduction of a C60 solution with LiClO4 on a platinum working electrode at high temperatures. Spectroscopic analyses showed that a negatively charged polymeric phase of C60 moieties intercalated with Li+ counterions are present in the film. The thermodynamical feasibility of the polymerization process was confirmed through numerical investigations.

Continuous chirality analysis of model Stone-Wales rearrangements in fullerenes

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the Stone-Wales rearrangement in fullerenes using a novel continuous chirality measure. The continuous chirality measure was characterized as a reaction coordinate in the study. Experimental results indicated that plotting the Hucket pi-energy of the chiral fullerenes against the mirror symmetry value generated an approximate linear correlation found only in enantiomerization reactions.

Investigation of encapsulation and solvatochromism of fullerenes in binary solvent mixtures

Article Abstract:

Fullerenes show strong solvatochromism and an unusual chemical inertness when dissolved in some binary solvent mixtures. Solvatochromism is linked with the formation of chemically inert water-soluble C60/pyridine 'nanocapsules.'
