H. Mohan et al., FORMATION OF WATER-SOLUBLE COMPLEXES OF C-60 - SOLID-STATE REACTION BETWEEN TERTIARY-AMINES AND C-60, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 29(21), 1996, pp. 5015-5021
Water soluble complexes of C-60 have been prepared on solid-state mech
ano-chemical reaction between C-60 and tertiary amines (hexamine, DABC
O) at room temperature (25 degrees C). The product is characterized by
x-ray diffraction and FTIR methods. It is presumably due to the charg
e transfer interactions between electron affinic C-60 and electron ric
h tertiary amines.
