Stable Dispersions of Fullerenes, C60 and C70, in Water. Preparation and Characterization
Abstract
Stable aqueous dispersions of fullerenes, C 60 and C 70, were prepared by simply injecting into water a saturated solution of fullerene in tetrahydofuran (THF), followed by THF removal by purging gaseous nitrogen. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the stable dispersion of C 70 in water. Fullerenes are dispersed as monodisperse clusters in water, 60 nm in diameter. High resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed the polycrystalline nature of the cluster. The preparation of the dispersion is very easy to perform, and the dispersions thus obtained are of excellent colloidal stability even though no stabilizing agent is used. It was found that the surface of the cluster is negatively charged and the electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged cluster surfaces is important for the stability of the dispersions.

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.
