“…For example, C 60 shows maximum solubility in benzene at about 313 K. Crystallization from benzene solution at temperatures below maximum results in formation of triclinic solid solvate with four benzene molecules C 60 Á 4C 6 H 6 which is unstable in air [35,36,45]. The preparation and characterization of solvated fullerenes have been widely studied [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. Many fullerene solvates have been observed and make this group of materials an important class of fullerenes.…”

“…The fact that fullerenes can generate solvates when they crystallize from solvents is of particular interest [26][27][28][29]. Many studies have focused on the growth and characterization of solvated fullerenes [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. High-pressure studies on this kind of fullerene materials have been carried out by several groups [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57].…”

a b s t r a c tAs the list of known carbon compounds grows longer, solvated fullerenes have become a more important class of carbon materials. Their general properties and methods of synthesis have both attracted considerable attention. The study of the behavior of these compounds under high-pressure conditions has revealed several new phenomena that have never been observed in pure fullerene. This article is a review of all recent progress in this field.

“…It has also been demonstrated that crystallization of C 60 molecules from organic solvents yields C 60 nanocrystals with varied shapes and structures, and that these shapes and structures are dependent upon the crystallization conditions and the solvent(s) employed [23,24,25]. One example is the preparation of C 60 nanowhiskers with a claimed facecentered cubic structure using a liquid-liquid interface method [26].…”

Fullerene-based one-dimensional crystalline nanopolymer formed through topochemical transformation of the parent nanowire

et al. 2010

Large-scale practical applications of fullerene (C 60 ) in nanodevices could be significantly facilitated if the commercially-available micrometer-scale raw C 60 powder were further processed into a one-dimensional (1D) nanowire-related polymer displaying covalent bonding as molecular interlinks and resembling traditional important conjugated polymers. However, there has been little study thus far in this area despite the abundant literature on fullerene. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of such a C 60 -based nanowire polymer, (-C 60 TMB-) n , where TMB=1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, which displays a well-defined crystalline structure, exceptionally large length-to-width ratio and excellent thermal stability. The material is prepared by first growing the corresponding nanowire through a solution phase of C 60 followed by a topochemical polymerization reaction in the solid state. Gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance evidence is provided for the nature of the covalent bonding mode adopted by the polymeric chains. Theoretical analysis based on detailed calculations of the reaction energetics and structural analysis provides an in-depth understanding of the polymerization pathway. The nanopolymer promises important applications in biological fields and in the development of optical, electrical, and magnetic nanodevices. * Electronic address: jg201@cam.ac.uk, ilia@fias.uni-frankfurt.de 2

“…Among these methods, the solventassisted method is reported to be a convenient and efficient method, which has become widely used for the synthesis of fullerene crystals. Early work reported the synthesis of large-size C 60 crystals (a few hundred micrometers in size) by using dichloromethane [7], 1,1,1-trichloroethane [8], benzene [9], etc., as solvents. Recent studies focused on the synthesis of fullerene crystals with sizes in the submicro/nanometer range, such as nanosheets, nanowhiskers, nanotubes and nanorods [2,3,[5][6][7].…”
