H. Murakami et al., Synthesis, aggregate structure and electrochemical properties of a water-soluble fullerene-bearing ammonium amphiphile, CHEM LETT, (8), 1999, pp. 815-816
A water-soluble C-60-terminating ammonium surfactant, 1, was synthesized. E
lectron microscopy revealed that 1 forms a fibrous aggregate in an aqueous
solution. Electronic interaction between the fullerene moieties in 1 in the
aqueous solution was observed. Electrochemistry for 1 aqueous solutions wa
s found to be quite different from that of 1 in the film states.
