We explored in the laboratory the destruction of buckminsterfullerene C 60 using a pressure-driven shock tube coupled with optical diagnostics.

Fullerenes are formed when vaporised carbon condenses in an atmosphere of inert gas. The gaseous carbon is obtained e.g. by directing an intense pulse of laser ...

Feb 8, 2023 · A strategy for light-powered guest release from a tetrahedral capsule has been developed by incorporating azobenzene units at its vertices.

It can be used as radical scavenger and antioxidant. At the same time, if exposed to light, fullerene can produce singlet oxygen in high quantum yields. This ...

A light-induced charge generation is reported in a new fullerene malonate derivative. The monovalent fullerene anionic form was detected by ESR method in ...

Light-induced ESR studies revealed two prominent, overlapping lines—one from a positive charge localized at the P3HT polymer and the other from a negative ...

Dec 17, 2020 · Fullerene cages have demonstrated positioning with nanoscale precision. The cages can be dragged into position with a scanning tunneling ...

Sep 17, 2019 · The three cages based on pyridine, 6-quinoline or 3-quinoline donors were found to either bind C 60 , C 70 or no fullerene at all.

Apr 30, 2021 · We report on the discovery and detailed exploration of the unconventional photo-switching mechanism in metallofullerenes.

The atomic nitrogen endofullerene is also formed by a glow discharge method, ... Illumination of the fullerene cages by a strong lamp induces spin-isomer ...
