The growth and ordering of C60 molecules on the WO2/W(110) surface have been studied by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM and STS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results indicate the growth of a well-ordered C60 layer on the WO2/W(110) surface in which the molecules form a close-packed hexagonal st...

Results of selected-ion flow tube experiments are reported that explore the nucleophilic interaction of pyrrolidine and piperidine with C60 1 , C60 , C60 31 at 294 6 2 K in helium buffer gas at a pressure of 0.35 6 0.01 Torr. Two efficient sequential addition reactions were observed with C60 1 in analogy with previous results obtained with acyclic amine nucleophiles. Multicollision-induced diss...

The thermal stability of C60 dimers and 2D pressure-polymerized C60 is studied using highresolution capacitance dilatometry. The transformation of both the dimer and the polymer phases back to ‘normal’ C60 is excellently described by a simple thermally activated process, with activation energies of 1.75 r 0.1 eV (dimer) and 1.9 r 0.2 eV (polymer). These results are compared to previous data of ...

We report the preparation of novel quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) C60 nanostructures on rippled graphene. Through careful control of the subtle balance between the linear periodic potential of rippled graphene and the C60 surface mobility, we demonstrate that C60 molecules can be arranged into a quasi-1D C60 chain structure with widths of two to three molecules. At a higher annealing temperat...

Spectroscopic and chemical properties of γ-CD• radicals, resulting from the abstraction by HO• radicals of hydrogen atoms, have been investigated using pulse radiolysis. The reactions of γ-CD• radicals with C60 in 2:1 γ-CD/C60 inclusion complexes have been studied in aqueous solutions. It has been demonstrated that the γ-CD_ radicals are reducing species producing C60 monoanion radicals, as wel...

The chemical probe C60 efficiently triggers Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation from latency through an unknown mechanism. Here, we identify the Cullin exchange factor CAND1 as a biochemical target of C60. We also identified CAND1 in an shRNA library screen for EBV lytic reactivation. Gene expression profiling revealed that C60 activates the p53 pathway and protein analysis revealed a strong ...

Introduction The large variety of compounds referred to as fullerides are intensively investigated due to their exciting electronic and transport properties, such as high-Tc superconductivity, molecular magnetism, and ionic conductivity[1-4]. These C60 charge-transfer salts invariably contain C60 in its anionic form. In fact, the observation of six reversible reduction states[5] confirms that C...

Helium droplets were co-doped with C60 and ammonia, water or carbon dioxide and the resulting cluster size distributions of the produced cationic complexes are presented. Mass spectra obtained by electron ionization were recorded with high mass resolution of m/m ~ 6000 (FWHM). Series of C60(H2O)n, C60(NH3)n and C60(CO2)n complexes for n up to 20 molecules attached to the C60 were observed amon...

In this study, nano-sized fullerene C60 powder was sufficiently mixed with Cu₂SnSe₃ powder by ball milling method, and the C60/Cu₂SnSe₃ composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering technology. The fullerene C60 distributed uniformly in the form of clusters, and the average cluster size was less than 1 μm. With increasing C60 content, the electrical conductivity of C60/Cu₂SnSe₃ composites ...
