Abstract
C70O dissolved in toluene transforms to as yet undetermined compounds when exposed to light at room temperature. After 140 days, only 21% of the origi nal C70O remained. C-70 was not formed. C-139, or C140O were not found. One possible explanation is that the compounds formed were very insoluble in t oluene and that their solids either remained in colloidal solution or attac hed themselves to the glass walls of the container bottles.
