A new Diels-Alder Adduct of C60 with 1,1’-biindene (CB) has been synthesized. The Langmuir trough study of this new fullerene derivative indicates that floating film could form monomolecular thick film at the air/water interface at lower concentration, and can be well transferred the floating mixed CB and arachidic acid film onto substrates using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. In the case of the mixed film, high quality films with thickness of up to 50 layers could be readily built up. The absorption variation with film thickness at 255nm was measured, indicating good LB deposition up to 50 layers.
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.
