Diffusion Coefficients of C60 and C60- in Benzonitrile and Dichloromethane Solutions Containing Tetrabutylammonium Perchlorate, Measured by Potential-step Chronoamperometry

C60-containing nanostructured polymeric materials with potential biomedical applications

Star-shaped polymers with a fullerene (C60) core and an unexpanded structure were successfully prepared by reaction of C60 with amino end-capped polyesters HxC60(NHPCLn)x and polyethers HxC60(NHPEGn)x, respectively. Upon irradiation of these C60-derivatives, a large amount of singlet oxygen was released. Compared to previously synthesized star-shaped azafulleroids with an expanded structure, th...

One-step synthesis of imidazoline-containing macrocycles and their complexation with fullerenes C60 and C70.

A new family of imidazoline-arylene macrocycles have been constructed through the simultaneous formation of four imidazoline rings in one step. These macrocycles can efficiently complex with fullerenes C60 and C70 through the formation of ground-state complexes.

The wall-jet electrode Potential step chronoamperometry

A theory is presented which describes the transient current response to a potential step at a wall-jet electrode, thus defining the “response time” of the electrode. Results are given in the form of a normalized transient as a function of a dimensionless time parameter which permits the analysis of experimental data for electrodes of any geometry and for any solution flow rate.

Interaction potential and infrared absorption of endohedral H2 in C60.

We have measured the temperature dependence of the infrared spectra of a hydrogen molecule trapped inside a C(60) cage, H(2)@C(60), in the temperature range from 6 to 300 K and analyzed the excitation spectrum by using a five-dimensional model of a vibrating rotor in a spherical potential. The electric dipole moment is induced by the translational motion of endohedral H(2) and gives rise to an ...
