Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) are far more emissive than their fullerene-based counterparts. Here, we study the spectral properties of photocurrent generation and recombination blend the...

Fullerene derivatives bearing a carboxylic acid function undergo self-assembly with n-butylstannonic acid (nBuSn(O)OH) to produce fullerene-rich nanostructures with a stannoxane core in almost quantitative yields.

The novel multicomponent reaction of [60]fullerene with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and isoquinoline, quinoline or substituted quinolines was investigated. This type of reaction presents the first example of a 1,4-dipolar cycloaddition reaction in fullerene chemistry.

The basic facts and fundamental properties of binary fullerene cocrystals are reviewed, focusing especially on solvates and salts of Buckminsterfullerene (C60), and hydrates of hydrophilic C60 derivatives. The examined properties include the lattice structure and the presence of orientational disorder and/or rotational dynamics (of both fullerenes and cocrystallizing moieties), thermodynamic pr...

An environmentally realistic method to test fullerene (C(60) ) toxicity to the benthic organism Chironomus riparius was created by allowing suspended fullerenes to settle down, making a layer on top of the sediment. To test the hypothesis that higher food concentrations will reduce toxic responses, two food concentrations were tested (0.5 and 0.8% Urtica sp.) in sediment containing fullerene ma...

Polarization-sensitive time-resolved visible-infrared pump-probe experiments demonstrate that one can efficiently generate long-lived charges in donor-acceptor charge transfer complex (CTC) of conjugated polymer doped with fullerene, MEH-PPV/dinitroanthraquinone/C(60). In particular, a strong enhancement of the photoinduced charge generation is observed in the red part of the spectrum, i.e. ins...

A detailed understanding of interactions between molecules and graphene is one of the key issues for tailoring the properties of graphene-based molecular devices, because the electronic and structural properties of molecular layers on surfaces are determined by intermolecular and molecule-substrate interactions. Here, we present the atomically resolved experimental measurements of the self-asse...

The polymer with contents of C60 up to 57 wt.% was produced by mutual condensation of fullerene C60 and ethylenediamine. The investigations of this polymer as well as pristine fullerene to comparison were carried out by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, ToF-SIMS, TGA, and elemental analysis. At least three kinds of components was revealed as building blocks of polymer. The fullerene cage underwent...

Fullerene medicine is a new but rapidly growing research subject. Fullerene has a number of desired structural, physical and chemical properties to be adapted for biological use including antioxidants, anti-aging, anti-inflammation, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery, and magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. Chemical functionalization of fullerenes has led to several interesting compoun...

Synthesis of fullerene oxides[C70(O)n] (n=1~3 or n=1) by fullerene [C70] and several oxidants such as 3-chloroperoxy benzoic acid, chromium(VI) oxide, benzoyl peroxide, trichloroisocyanuric acid take place under microwave irradiation. The MALDI-TOF MS, UV-visible spectra and HPLC analysis confirmed that the products of fullerene oxidation are [C70(O)n] (n=1~3 or n=1). Keyword : A.Fullerene oxid...
