A novel salt-derivatived [60]fullerene covalently linking a stable nitroxid
e is synthesized. The nanoparticles based on the salt-derivatived [60]fulle
rene are formed in a facile way through self-assembly. The spectral propert
ies of the sample are studied and the magnetic property is also primarily m
easured with superconducting quantum interference device. (C) 2001 Publishe
