The adsorption of Th(IV) onto the surface of oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (oMWCNTs) in the absence and presence of hydroxylated fullerene (C60(OH)n) and carboxylated fullerene (C60(C(COOH)₂)n) has been investigated. C60(OH)n, C60(C(COOH)₂)n and oMWCNTs have been chosen as model phases because of their representative in carbon nano-materials family. Adsorption experiments were performe...

An unexpected discovery in fullerene chemistry has been the ease with which C60 units can covalently bond together to give rise to polymerized fullerene networks with a variety of structural architectures. Such fullerene-bridged arrays display varying dimensionality and interesting electronic (metallic behavior) and magnetic (ferromagnetism above room temperature) properties. The predominant C-...

The study examined surface adsorption of fullerene C60 with anticancer drug procarbazine in gas and solvent (water) phases using the DFT method. In doing so, the structure of the procarbazine, fullerene and their derivatives were first geometrically optimized in three different configurations with a base set of 6-31 g * and B3LYP hybrid functions. Then, IR calculations, frontier molecular orbit...

the spectroscopic properties of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (tempo) radicalderivatives of the fullerene (c60) were theoretically investigated. the ground state optimizedstructures of the radical adducts of the fullerene were calculated by using dft (b3lyp) with 6-31g(d) level. it was concluded that a 6-6 ring junction of c60 moiety generally covalently links to thepiperidine ring ...

Solubilization and encapsulation of fullerenes C60 and C70 by ultralarge hollow micelles formed by rod-coil diblock copolymers and characterization of the resulting self-organized fullerene-block copolymer assemblies are reported. The solubilization capacity of each fullerene in poly(phenylquinoline)-blockpolystyrene (PPQ-PS) micelles in binary solvents, trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane, an...

The radical anion spectra of C60 and C70 can be easily generated and studied in primary aliphatic amines. In these conditions the C60• and C70• species are accompanied by the dianions C60 and C70. In the near infrared region the electronic transitions at 1075, 1058 and 991 nm were assigned to C60• while those at about 1020-1030 nm and at 933 nm were assigned to the fullerene dianion C60 . The e...

A convenient procedure for the synthesis of supramolecules bearing carotenoids and fullerene C60 is reported. The amphipathic nature and the high yield of charge separation of these compounds make them candidates in the formation of transmembrane charge gradients. Introduction Photochemical and photophysical studies of fullerene C60 (buckminsterfullerene) have shown that C60 is a good electron-...

Industrially produced carbon-based nanomaterials (CNM), including fullerenes and nanotubes, will be introduced into the environment in increasing amounts in the next decades. One likely environmental chemical transformation of C60 is oxidation to C60 fullerol through both abiotic- and biotic-mediated means. Unfortunately, knowledge of the environmental fate of oxidized CNM is lacking. This stud...

On the basis of our previous work on DNA fluorophores derived from vinylpyridinium-triphenylamine, we explored the structure space around the electron-rich triphenylamine (TP) core by changing the vinyl bond to an oxazole ring. As 2,5-diaryloxazoles are known to be highly fluorescent and efficient two photon absorbers, we synthesized analogues with two different connections of the oxazole to th...

The excited state dynamics of two generations perylenediimide chromophores substituted in the bay area with dendritic branches bearing triphenylamine units as well as those of the respective reference compounds are investigated. Using single photon timing and multi-pulse femtosecond transient absorption experiments a direct proof of a reversible charge transfer occurring from the peripheral tri...
