Va. Nadtochenko et al., QUENCHING EXCITED TRIPLET C-60 FULLERENE BY TETRACYANOETHYLENE IN BENZONITRILE, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(7), 1993, pp. 1171-1173
Quenching excited triplet C-3(60) fullerene by tetracyanoethylene (TCN
E) in a benzonitrile solution proceeds with a rate constant equal to (
4.2+/-0.3) . 10(8) (M . s)-1. The formation of a radical ion pair [C60
radical-cation . . . TCNE radical-anion] was observed.
