Als molekulare Analoga zu Aktivkohle mit großer innerer Oberfläche können die Fullerene betrachtet werden. Entsprechend werden an diese im festen Zustand organische Moleküle und Luftsauerstoff angelagert. Dadurch werden die elektronischen und kristalldynamischen Eigenschaften des van‐der‐Waals‐Kristalls Fulleren von den Bedingungen der Herstellung, Reinigung und Aufbewahrung abhängig. Dies erschwert die Gewinnung von Fullerenen mit definierten und reproduzierbaren Eigenschaften.
The fullerenes can be described as molecular analogues of activated charcoal with a large inner surface. Accordingly, in the solid state, C60 adsorbs organic molecules and oxygen from the air. The conditions of the production, purification, and storage therefore dictate the electronic and dynamic properties of the van der Waals crystals. Obtaining fullerene samples with defined and reproducible properties is more difficult than previously thought.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
