Solubility of fullerene (C60) in a variety of solvents
Abstract
The room temperature solubility of pure C60 has been determined in 47 solvents. The solubilities cover a wide range, from 0.01 mg/mL in methanol to 50 mg/mL in 1-chloronaphthalene. The solubilities in CS2, toluene, and hexane, three of the commonly employed solvents, are 7.9,2.8, and 0.04 mg/mL, respectively. An examination of the solubilities of C60 as a function of the solvent properties such as index of refraction, dielectric constant, molecular size, Hildebrand solubility parameter, and H-bonding strength reaffirms the century-old principle ''like dissolves like''. No single solvent parameter can uniformly predict the solubility Of C60, but a composite picture of solvents with high solubility for C60 emerges: large index of refraction, dielectric constant around 4, large molecular volume, Hildebrand solubility parameter equal to 10 cal1/2 CM-3/2, and tendency to act as a moderate strength nucleophile.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
